The Model becomes Reality

Our house is really starting to take shape, quite literally! Compare this photo with the one at the top of the blog page: Here you can see the how the curves on the front balconies and the terrace are starting to look like those on the model:

This photo shows how the new house is sitting on the block in relation to the old boatshed:

Inside, the scaffolding that was holding up the second floor has now been removed, and we can finally see the size of our open living area: Jacob coming out of the pantry behind where the kitchen will be:

Looking back towards the family room: Upstairs, the roofing has started going on; and the block piers to hold up the Garage have been built. To the right, you can see the formwork in place for the internal stairs up from the Entry Foyer to the Garage. Apologies for the gap between posts; our 12 month lease for our rental has now expired and we have had to move house to a smaller, but lovely, place in Sutherland.

We are also well overdue for a holiday after moving again, so will be off to the snow next week. Watch this space!
