Easter 2012

So what did you do on your Easter holidays ?

April 2012 we spent the Easter week at the house, my dad (bet he wish he had stayed home) also came along and was a big help.

We managed to complete the task of replacing the sewage pipes and installing a working toilet and sink (before that we had to trek up the hill to the marktplatz and use the communal toilets).

We also made a start on clearing out the old barns – how much hay ?

I ordered a 7cbm skip (absetzcontainer) for bricks and mortar (bauschutt), Debs and Emily did a grand job of filling most of it with all the old bricks from the garden and first shed.

We also managed to remove the old toilets and clay waste pipe going to the cesspit (grube).

 

We plan to go back at the end of April for 4 days and complete tearing down the old sheds, the neighbour asked the previous owner to sort them out as the hay stored in them is rotting against the wall – which has created damp and mouldy walls for the neighbour.
