We have been hard at it up on the brede river. This house was very badly flooded with the recent storms. Water level rose till over the ground floor's roof, up the stairs and even onto the first floor.

We have repaired decking, built a new outside braai with a neat patio roof over it. Removed all mould, New drywalling and insulation throughout, done a few changes to internal walls to open up the space. New pine flooring throughout. Various electrical and plumbing changes, installed a new jetty/walkway, reshaped the ground towards the waterline, fabricated and installed a new kitchen, countless other repairs/changes.

See video for a quick look at the extent of the damages 'before'.

We have turned this property around and I am proud to say we were the first flood damaged home ready for a rental booking within 3 months of our start date.

This home is very almost completed-
A full renovation project, with House of Kitchens being the head contractor, myself and my crew were called in to handle the roof.

We cut a section of existing roof loose, slid the entire section (tiles and all) foreward over the new build, and then built in new trusses and covered up the now open section over the client's study. - thank you Chris Botha from Prolink Hydraulics for supplying us with the hydraulic jacks needed to press this heavy section of roof into its new resting place.

We followed up with fresh black paint, and also built in a low profile patio roof adjacent to the pool. Next we will do a neat little deck and a ceiling detail underneath.

Last week we had a very welcome break from our roofing projects-
We sorted out some tatty edging around this swiming pool. Old tiles off, cleaned up and re-installed with the correct adhesive for this purpose. We also added in a sleek looking stainless trim. (Yes- you spotted correctly đź‘€- the detail on the far side had to slope up, as per clients request, in order to line up with existing patio tiles)

The pool can now be topped up to the correct level and enjoyed.

It is always tricky to finish off projects this time of year. In stellenbosch however, when the students leave over december, we have an ideal oppertunity to take on other interesting challenges.

This week we are busy in the (mostly) empty parking spaces at East Lynn. We have potholes to repair, road markings and parking bays to paint for +- 70 units, parking barriers to install and various other small repairs around the property
