Vox Hunt: Brick House

Show us bricks.

No, not the Gaza Strip - our backyard!

We are planning fairly extensive renovations to the back of our house and plan to stay living there while all this is going on. My husband had the idea of turning the garage into a temporary living space complete bbq for cooking, sink for washing up etc while all this is going on. He has started making the garage bigger by extending the roof inwards to join it to the side of the house (previously about half a meter between garage and house) and then taking out the garage wall. To make it more accessible, he just got a door put in between the house (our bedroom) and garage. This photo is of the new door way, looking out into the garage (which still needs to be sealed):

We have also moved Mollie the dog into the garage as it is a bit more sheltered than her old kennel. Only problem is that we can now hear her dreaming at night!

Will be so glad when these renovations are all over (if that ever happens)!
