When we bought our house, we allegedly purchased a 3 bedroom home with a studio and a carport. Sounds great hey? Need help deciphering real estate agent speak. Here's a crash course:
- Studio = run down asbestos shack in backyard.
- Carport = loads of pieces of corrugated iron piled ontop of one another in ramshakle way with the odd bit of timber strategically place to keep it from falling.

Today - a year and a bit after we moved in, we've finally gotten rid of the studio. The asbestos man came on Wednesday and took all the yuckky stuff away and today the Mr and the FIL braved the elements and did some good old fashion demolition.
This is the studio with the outer (asbestos) walls removed. I forgot to get a before shot. Note how it is smack bang in the middle of the yard?
The work begins...boys love to demolish.
All the walls are gone.
A chunk of asbestos that was left behind....naughty.
Voila! All gone! Now we need to do something about that fig tree, do a MASSIVE weed, plant lots of veges and flowers, whack a swing set in there and we'll be the proud owners of an enormously beautiful backyard! Thank you to the fellas who spent Saturday in the rain doing this.
