Going, going, gone...

This is our back gate which leads out to a quiet street.

The photo below shows the house 3rd from ours, in that street; note there are some workmen on the roof...

two days later and what do you see?....

The tiles of the roof are all gone and so are all the weatherboards...

We're starting to notice all the trucks that come up the street to the house....

Trucks that carry away building rubble. Trucks that bring earth-moving equipment and trucks that bring skips.

There is a sign on the site warning of asbestos...some of the trucks are taking this rubble somewhere different for disposal. The residents hope that all the protocols and precautions for dealing with asbestos removal  have been followed. This slows down work a bit... 

Going...going....

The following photos I took last Sunday, after the workmen had spent most of Saturday at the site.

Going...going...GONE!

This photo shows what a large area the former house was on.

I don't know what will be built on this site; possibly a number of townhouses like 2 doors up from this site. So for the next few months we'll have trucks, dust and noise....as our suburb progresses! The last photo is one few we have which won't be built out...it's the view we get when we walk down the middle of the street. It shows the range to the west of Brisbane's northern suburbs and in particular Mount Glorious.
