HomestoriesNonna and Dan Dan’s new house

Nonna and Dan Dan’s new house

My grandparents (Nonna and Dan Dan) recently sold their property at Severnlea and are building a new house on our property at Kyoomba.

We’re really excited that they will be living with us and can’t wait for the house to be finished.

The new house has been through the council approval and the builders have started work. Because we live out of town it has rainwater tanks for all their water and a septic system.

The builders have finished the shed and the house is on the way to being finished.

Different people did the pipes for the water and electricity and every time I got back from school a lot more building had happened.

It’s been really interesting to see how houses are built and all of the tradesmen have been really nice.

When Nonna and Dan Dan’s new house is finished it’s going to be really good to visit whenever I want.

I really like to read the newspaper with Dan Dan and talk about politics with him.

And I love spending time with Nonna because she makes the best cupcakes.
