Haus Elisabeth

Exterior

The work begins - July to October 2005

The first thing was to make a driveway and parking place	A storm tipped one of the big firs so it needed to go right away
First the branches, then the crown...	and finally, metre for metre the rest
Then some weeks later the rest of the trees	In the meantime the scaffolding was erected
All 47 windows were removed and replaced	Forestry at home
Big trees require big machines	We wondered whether it would ever look like home
But we had help	and the back yard would heal
The last of the windows are installed	and the front door rescued
Finally, the exterior is presentable	The back as well as the front.
Six months after purchase, a home to be proud of.	December, 2005
Attractive in the winter...	and the summer.
In the spring of 2006 we planted a rose bed.
August, 2006

Our yard is transformed from a ruins into a park - 2005 to 2013

It took time, but we were able to have a carport built.

All this time work was going on inside as well

In the summer of 2008 we finally got the drive and carport surface paved
