We are a family of short people, who have worked hard over the past few years to build ourselves a new home in "the Shire"

Oh my God, we have a Garage!
After staring at our model for several years, and wishing it to come true, when we got back from the snow, we were gobsmacked to see that a familiar shape had materialised.This is the model:And this is what we saw from the street:This is how it looks from our driveway:And here you can see the shape of the staircase down to the front door, and the new steelwork to hold up the skylight window over the entry foyer:Sorry if we sound too excited, well it is our first Garage! And it does start to put the whole building into perspective. This milestone also marks the highest part of the building - aren't we supposed to plant a tree or something? Oh well we'll plant several soon...We were so excited in fact, that we went searching for a vantage point from the other side of the river (armed with a telephoto lens), to see what it looked like from that side. Here's what we found:
With the trees that we were able to retain, it is difficult to spot the old boatshed. Once the new building is completed (hiding the fresh timber and orange builders plastic) and rendered, you will hardly even know we're there!
Having lived in "the Shire" almost our entire lives, we have been tirelessly planning our humble abode for over 5 years now. We previously lived at this location between 1984 and 1992, and have been captured by the mild climate and sensational northerly aspect across the North West Arm of the Hacking River.
We hope through this blogsite our Friends and Family can watch our progress as we enter the final stages of turning our dream into a home.
