Yeah - lifestyle says they specialise in demolish and build... they have had a few tips, like avoiding certain walls so we don't have to retain. But when I got a cheaper quote for the demolishion then they estimated, he was surprised. It was $12k. A lot of people seem to be able to get it down to $10k..... all the more money for furniture!
I would love to be in earlier, but the tennants have the house till Jan. They have been there for 8 years or something crazy.
I walk past the house most days on the way to the shops so it will be easy to keep an eye on the builder. I am also thinking about taking them biscuts some days and beer on a friday arvo. That is my plan, but I might not stay so upbeat.
