Renovating blog

She has her favourite builder Russell on speed dial and he, his son Trevor and their dog Arko have become part of the family. I have known him since I was three and he is at their place at least once every two years doing something or other. Russell always puts mum’s jobs at the top of his priority list as he knows that he has a lifelong income with her and she has been a client of his for so long.

Her most recent renovation was building Sam the family dog a clear solar, rain proof roof over the whole side part of the yard, which in effect has turned out to be a giant dog kennel just because she didn’t want him getting wet when it rained. She also had new fencing put up around the balcony as Sam fell off it one day when he lost his balance. Another funny one was when dad said he wanted a better shed so she got a miniature version of their house built into a shed. It’s almost a perfect replica except it’s a single story but big enough to fit his two motorbikes and all the tools you can imagine. He completely loves it!
