BEACH HOUSE RENOVATION

Location:  Tathra

Builder:  SL Hodgson Constructions

Over 2017 we will be renovating this humble 1960 beach house in Tathra.  During the course of construction we will be following the progress and the way the changes are being made to update the house.

Primarily the footprint of the house will remain but with an extension to the east that will enclose the chimney.  As well there will be a new art studio and garage on either side of the house.

Will it all go smoothly or, will there be a glitch or 2 along the renovation road?
