Just for Mike












Oooops - halloween!

Of course this is weeks ago now. Much more happening. I mean now, wellll, the stairs are in, the kitchen floor is going down, walls is plasterboarded - eeeh lad it's all go.

Mike wanted us to build a steel frame over the north of the house to extend it upward - it would have been a good idea but too expensive. We also used a cheap architect to cut costs. Pants. Pay the money people. But the builders are doing their best. Latest estimate is early December.....

Ahhh, thank the Lord for visible evidence of progress. It all looks quite carefully and thoroughly assembled too. Loads of corners of membrane sheets sticking out from all the right places, first fixings for services neatly installed, even where they'll never be seen again, etc. Significant space improvement from the bothy but most importantly, its going to be soooooo warm.

Congratulations guys, it's looking good. The additional steel frame loft extensions can happen another time. %-)

Sneaky shot of Halloween sneaked in there too, ya sneak. Excellent Gaisha outfit. Kieron was a zombie (no change?) with ripped jeans & T-shirt and lots of red paint, while Rachey was a witch, again. Shona dressed in a long black coat and Dracula mask for guising with the bairns while I was left home with a sword stuck through my head for anyone that came to the door.
WoooOOOoooo.
Cheery the nooooOOOOooo.
