A demolition crew in Christchurch has finally demolished a once-palatial home teetering on a cliff above the suburb of Redcliffs.
The multimillion-dollar house has been unliveable since the quakes, and those living down on the flat are not sorry to see it go either.
The stately three-storey home once boasted an indoor swimming pool, an underground garage and views that stretched on forever. But four years after the first quake it's now abandoned, slumped, twisted and sitting precariously close to the cliff. A digger moved in this afternoon to save it from complete collapse.
"We were up here checking the land damage and building damage," says Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority's (CERA) Brendan Winders. "We were clearing some vegetation, and while doing that we discovered the building and the land around it was much more compromised than we initially expected."
The home's location, just metres from the cliff edge, means specialist demolition equipment had to be brought in.
"The remote-control digger allows us to have the same sort of demolition impact without putting a man into the machine," says Mr Winders. "We use it occasionally where it is needed."
Redcliffs School sits at the bottom of the cliff. It too has been out of bounds since the quakes. Principal Kim Alexander was keeping a close eye on today's demolition. She's hoping that once the houses go, she'll get her school back.
"It is exciting," she says. "It's just a positive step in the process. We've got a long way to go before we can go back, but one of the things that has to happen is the removal of those homes."
Ms Alexander says a final decision on whether the school will ever return is up to the Ministry of Education.

Multimillion-dollar house demolished in Christchurch
COTTONWOOD HEIGHTS, UTAH (ABC 4 UTAH) - Demolition has begun on 8 homes at the corner of 2300 E and Bengal Boulevard paving the way for a new municipal complex in Cottonwood Heights.
The building will be a one-story, 38,000 square foot building with all of the amenities for a community.
The city spent just under 4 million dollars acquiring the 8 properties. It will have nearly 5 acres and more room to expand if they want to.
"It is just exciting to just take a building and see the power of one of the machines take that first step and take the building down so we can start construction in the spring," says Councilmen Mike Peterson of Cottonwood Heights.
The brand new municipal complex will be finished by 2016.
"We haven't had our own city hall, justice system and all that and I think it is great," said resident Sarah Aguiler.
"One of the reasons we are building this city hall is because under our current paradigm, we can't do much for citizens. I mean we basically have offices," said Mayor of Cottonwood Heights Kelvyn Cullimore.
For 10-years Cottonwood Heights has been renting office space in a building off Fort Union Blvd. The city's administration, city council and police all packed into 3 floors.
"When we are done we will have a facility that is nice, we can be proud of and it's paid for. It will last 50-60-70-years," Mayor Cullimore added.
Saving tax payers money while making things easy on them by having one convenient area.

Demolition begins for new Cottonwood Heights municipal complex
As the town wrestles with ways to protect landmarked homes from demolition, a longtime preservationist urges caution.
Requiring a separate demolition request that halts all other work on a site could backfire, according to Palm Beach architect Gene Pandula, a former longtime chairman of the Landmarks Preservation Commission.
Town staff and the landmarks board are considering ways to better protect landmarked properties following the unauthorized partial demolition earlier this year of Vita Serena, the 1926 Palladian-style home at 105 Clarendon Ave. .
I dont think you want people to shy away from doing things precisely and correctly in favor of haste, Pandula said.
Planning, Zoning & Building Director John Page has asked the landmarks board to review suggestions he and his staff have created.
Their proposal would require:
* a separate demolition permit for projects in which demolition has been authorized.
* a demolition completion certificate. No additional permits could be approved before this certificate is completed. And no additional demolition would be allowed unless it is approved by the town in advance.
* a pre-construction meeting with the qualified contractor, architect, building official and others before the town issues a demolition permit.
* the presence of a resident inspector on the work site during demolition work. If the owner uses a private inspector, town building inspectors would visit the site daily during demolition work.
