The two of us at home pre fund-raiser kitchen walk for kindy

Friday 14 March 2008

The walls are up downstairs

And so we come to the really good bit - walking through the downstairs, admiring the framework and seeing how beautiful and spacious the rooms really are. Terrific spaces and all with the right aspects - I'm mentally arranging furniture as I go.

It's Saturday March 15 and we've just returned from a great 2-day visit to Woodbury where we met the builders and admired their handiwork. Accompanied by Keith's brother and sister-in-law from Canada, Mark and Cathy, we gave the house its detailed tour of inspection and it came up trumps. Ken and Shane, the boss builders, were very welcoming to the tour party, and Wayne and Toby, busy nailing away in the clear morning air, were equally nice to their unexpected visitors. Thanks, guys, to all of you.

Again, the pictures speak for themselves - suffice it to say that we have good solid structure in place and are delighted with the way the house is literally shaping up. We're more-or-less on track timewise and it seems as if the roof-raising party will be some time in April. Not long now.
