Face lift for the Verandah and major alterations at the cottage

While our grand old lady boasts a spanking clean facade, the Sherlock cottage is taking a beating.
    Wallpaper coming down, carpets out and a thorough schrub for the ceilings.   Lots of other work will follow after 30 years since she was bought.

The cottage was built in 1889. Whilst scraping the wallpaper off, we found a layer of  the original    green lead paint.

   Eon is the project manager and our friend Jacques Theron has given us good architectural advice.

                           Eon in 1983 ... little did I know that he would be so versatile at 32.

                            This book was found behind one of the cupboards in the kitchen. Pinoccio kept Emile and Eon busy whilst their parents restored the cottage from October 1984 to March 1985.
