8 Velsheda Street, Bexley, Christchurch, across the road from my house was demolished a week or so ago, just one of many demolitions of Red Zone properties at the moment. This house was about ten years old and suffered land damage during the 4th September 2010 and 22nd February 2011 earthquakes. The same fate awaits my house later in the year o...

Damaged houses above Shag Rock.
Bent house,sunk in middle
Typical lateral damage to houses caused by the 7.1 magnitude quake in Christchurch at 4.35am on the 4th September 2010.
Known by the locals as the "Owner's House" of the large Farnley Brick and Tile Works which was situated nearby. Established by the Austin brothers in 1863 the brickworks were named after the town of Farnley in Yorkshire England, from where the family had come. I remember the brickworks as a child and I think they were demolished in the 1970's. V...
Sitting on the concrete in front of what was my model railway room - a single car garage at the rear of our house in Pacific Park. Reason it is here - one of the houses behind my old house is going to be trucked out. See previous photo.
Houses teeter over the edge above Redcliffs School.
Crack beside the door passes through entire house
The Mack tractor unit with "half a house" ready to depart in the middle of the night, when the roads are quiet. But where is this house heading too?
My house (bought in March 2004) till the government procured it in October 2012, is finally being demolished. It will be an empty section in a couple of days, once they rip up the concrete base. Note the rainbow on right.
Annette Preen's house in background. See the angle the front of house is on. This maybe a write off as it is trashed inside with liquification occurring right under the house and bursting through concrete floor. Annette was featured on TV3 news tonight. Go to TV3 website to see news item.

These were all red zone properties a...
All this is "red zone" after the earthquakes and has to be demolished. The roof of my "old" house (now owned by the government) can be seen between the third and fourth river-side houses.
