Demolition Derby at week 50 to go

Where did last week go? I swear it did not even hit my sides, but all I know is that it was Business with a capital B in the land of HH.

Here is a whirlwind tour of 50 weeks to go - I am exhausted even thinking back on it!

I remember it started very early - because, after all, my skip man was on his way - and no one keeps that man waiting! The power of stopping the traffic! I know, sad, but true!

So early week was full of action - goodbye old wheelchair ramp!

Hello fencing

  

And in earth shattering news ( everyone one site was close to brimming over with excitement).. the much anticipated girls' hard hats arrived (by the way, I love that the purchase automatically gave to The Breast Cancer Foundation!). Feeling good and looking good - got to love that!

As you can see PA HH and I celebrated - Miss HH embraced the latest addition too

She even converted Boyfriend HH as well!

But others like Builder Boy (BB) HH were not so convinced!

I'm truly not sure exactly why. They were the bomb!

There were other purchases too - how beautiful is this gorgeous setting? It was just sitting there outside the beautiful local store Jubilee Antiques yearning to join the HH community

 

And I am happy to report it did! Jubilee Antiques is a fabulous shop Visit the Jubilee boys here.

Scaffolding (and lots of it) was the order of the day

 

And just look at the spectacle which it revealed

  

Brisbane City looked simply beautiful from way up there - a shame that only the possums in the roof generally get to see this view from the HH roof. 

We were blessed to have divine blue skies and sunshine this week.  So it was the perfect climate for chimney cleaning (and repairs)

And just look at the cheek of this upstart tree growing in the chimney - don't stress - it is now gone! Thanks Mr Round Up!

I decided I wanted to have a go at being the Foreman!

So I greeted all the guests - Dr JT visited

and bought the invitations for our fancy Gatsbyesque charity dinner in a few weeks!

Fellow WANTZ charity member, Dr AS also paid a HH visit

Miss HH made chocolate slice to welcome the week

and they found an appreciative audience!

As did mid week morning tea from our beautiful friends at Ray's Breads (remember Tony made coffees for the firemen and me all night after the fire - he got the Blog's inaugural award for community service?)

Meet Jason - This is Jason

I believe his family way over the other side of the world in Wales are reading this blog to catch a glimpse of him - so this one is for you Jason! And your family!

He is so special, even Superstar Tea Cosy wanted a shot with him!

But don't feel too special Jason, Superstar Tea Cosy will have a photo with just about anyone (or anything!)

STT with the Golf Clubs generously donated for the Charity auction

STT with the new HH fence

STT with HH Retro furniture

 

STT greeting guests

and STT getting ready to go home with the boys (what a tart!)

STT even chose to pose with Tom! I told you she is not at all fussy! Sorry Tom!

 

The week went fast... and before we knew it... it was Friday

The HH whiteboard had its share of graffiti

I loved this one (thanks BB!)

But even the weekend was busy - moving all the furniture away into storage from the HH garage

Goodbye garage wing soon to be demolished!

 Hello storage shed - home for the next 6 months!

So the week over, all exhausted, but we can't rest - the trusses arrive Monday!

So excited that there has been so many people on site doing so much - I loved all the energy
 

Let's just hope we can keep it up next week!
