Update

Time has passed and there has been some progress! The site above is what we got back to. About to pour some concrete on the upstairs floor.




This was to prove a must-see activity for the boys. They waited for the trucks to arrive - 6 of them.



There was a pump truck parked outside to move the concrete over the wall and to the first floor.





Here the concrete is poured.
Apparently it only took about an hour. I was not there so Mel took the photos. Now it was time to flaten it out:






Here is the view from upstairs. This is taken from the South-east corner of the house. This will be where the boys room will be.


A few days later and the walls upstairs are going up nicely.
