Our "Nest", at De Oude Huize Yard, really needs a new "stoep"
In South Africa a "stoep" is very important.
- It is from here where you can watch the garden grows
- The birds feeding
- The sun rising over our mountain
- Drinking early morning coffee with rusks
- Love being alive
Sharing pictures with you

| This section shouts for improvement |
 |
| The original sandstone foundation was deteriorating very fast. |
 |
| The wall was buckled and busy falling over |
 |
| Cracks everywhere |
 |
| New foundations and sandstone wall |
 |
| The new retaining wall completed |
 |
| Time to remove the old wall and pillars |
 |
| The original wall with a lot of history in it |
 |
| Hennie is changing a lot of bits and pieces into a window |
 |
| The window is ready to be fitted |
 |
| Window is fitted and the wall almost completed |
 |
| The side where the cracks was visible |
 |
| Cup of coffee as the sun sets?. |
 |
| What a surprise even some lead glass in the window!!! |
 |
| The old red cement slab has been removed |
 |
| The new "stoep" only needs some tiles to complete! |
 |
| We can now enjoy the wonderful view of the garden and mountain |
Love
Till next time

ReplyDeleteDear Carmen
DeleteThanks that you are always visiting my site. Have been so busy lately. Hopefully we will have some time again now that the porch is finished. Yes we hope to enjoy it and that the weather will give us time to enjoy the garden this summer. Lots of love to you and your family from a windy Harrismith. Love and hugs to you.
I'm hoping that you will finish your renovation sooner, so you can have your rest now. Just don't forget to consider a good set of windows and door for your home. It would be nicer if you choose the one that will compliment your new renovated house.
ReplyDeleteDear Double Glazing
DeleteOur renovations is a 10 year project and we have almost completed it. Thanks for you advice on windows and doors. We are situated in South Africa and seeing that the building is more than a 150 years old we have to keep to strict advice from the Heritage Foundation. Have a great week-end.
Greetings
Sandra
