20130704_7680_EOS M-22 Another one on the way out! 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? #3900
20130613_7577_1D3-24 My Trees cut down so a house being removed from behind could get out above the fence on one of those elevating house removal trailers. I don't know the story about the yellow (recycling) wheelie bin - the wheels have been removed. This was my house from March 2004 to mid-2012 when it was purchased by the government as it s...
Cunningham House at the Christchurch Botanic Gardens is still closed due to earthquake damage. I wonder if it will ever re-open or suffer the demolition fate many other iconic structures in Christchurch have.

20130613_7580_1D3-24 19 Velsheda Street The two nice trees in the front of my old property on the right (now owned by the government) have been cut down so the main section of the house behind could be trucked down the drive. The truck must have been up against the fence to get the height above the house to the left (15 Velsheda Street). Down t...

Over 200 households have used the 20 houses while their own homes have been repaired or rebuilt. The demand for acco...
20171103_5582_1D3-38 Trees in the Red Zone (307/365) In what used to be sections with houses and yards. Between late 2011 and 2014 the houses (well 95% of them) were removed due to land dropping in the 2011 earthquakes and the proximity of the Avon River, tidal in this area. #8859
