When we moved in, we discovered that Heath Robinson had done a lot of things around the Sandbag House. Needless to say, The Husband did a lot to address shoddy workmanship.
One area where they cut corners was the compaction of the stoep and throwing a slab - with proper drainage - on the south side of the house. Addressing this has been on the to-do list. Forever.
Work is happening:
The north and east stoeps have been levelled with new screed.
Mercifully, our fears that they had to be recompacted were unfounded: a huge saving.
Next, the slab and the front (which is actually, officially the back) stoep on the south and north sides. Then the interior work begins.
My goal: done by end June with a soft launch in July.
Just putting it out there....
Oh, and watch out for the pew: I have a plan for it. 😉
Until next time
