4. Disassembly almost complete

This baby python (in builder Rob Peagram's hands) and a young brushtail possum, at home in last section of roofing found quieter new homes nearby.

Disassembly of the house is almost complete with vjs, flooring and framing neatly stockpiled and stored under salvaged roofing iron. Some of the kerbside offerings have found new homes and new lives elsewhere.

Next week, earthworks will begin, scraping topsoil aside for use later in landscaping and preparing areas for rainwater storage, greywater treatment and possibly geothermal airconditioning.
