Progress so far...
10 February 2015Sadly, on December 22, Stuart lost his battle with cancer and passed away. He is greatly missed. His last wish is still our focus, that is to get the property that him and Toni started livable so Toni can live there with basic facilities.
Through the incredible generosity of people who have given their time and money we have been able to take great steps towards making the house livable for Toni.
Due to the amazing work of volunteers and working bees, a kitchen space has been created by removing two internal walls to make enough room for a lovely kitchen area. The building piles have been leveled and tied down to ensue a level foundation. A new floor has been built between the two buildings to connect them. Ranch sliders have been installed in two of the large holes in the outer walls and a deck has been landed and tied down to decking piles.
The family are so grateful for everything that has been given and the people who have willingly donated to this project.
This week the roof and walls to connect the two buildings is scheduled to happen which will completely connect the two buildings, making them one house and weather proof in that area.
To date there still is no running water on the property. The kitchen and bathroom are also not installed and the walls are not yet weatherproof.
If anyone knows of any builders, plumbers or landscapers in the area or surrounding areas that you think would be able to assist the family in their area of expertise, please let the family know or refer them to this page to have a look and get in touch.
Thank you to all the people who have helped the family thus far. Some great progress has been made, although there is still a lot to be done.
Attached is a quick video showing the state of the house to date.
