Seven days left in Casa Del Sol. Although as Ash points out we still don’t actually have our plans approved, all indicators are that it will happen very soon. And we can start the pre-demolition work in the meantime. So we are going to move out, take what we want to salvage, and let the builders move in. Then the asbestos is removed. A a fence, and a power pole and portaloo need to go up. A neighborhood meeting has to be scheduled. This will take three or four weeks, so we'll get the ball rolling while waiting for final approvals.
It's strange to be moving out of a house that will never be lived in again. No need to clean, patch up paintwork or clear out unwanted old plant pots. It all just gets left.
Meanwhile Penelope is enjoying these last few days in the house very much: anything goes as far as art – or even just scrawling – on the walls, and not just in her bedroom either. We’re ignoring the late summer termite invasion. I’m putting stuff down the waste disposal with reckless abandon, safe in the knowledge it only needs to function for another week.
