The days, weeks and months are passing so quickly and work on the house has slowed with all that has been taking place in the garden...more importantly, clearing and fencing for the horses. Much has been done but there is still very much more to be done. Below are photo's of the house as it is progressing. It will be more than a year before we are done and truth be told I am not bothered. I have never been one for keeping up with the Jones's and I don't care to make comparisons. I am not a social snob and have learned that there are way more important things in life than pride in possessions. So what if the house isn't completed as yet...we are still living comfortably amongst the chaos and that is all that matters. I am proud of Johan for all that he does....working a day job and renovating our home. He is a hero in my eyes and I love that he is so capable.
The almost finished pool side of the house
One of two slate pillars found under plaster
Matthew building the foundation wall of NiQi's bedroom
The tiles have been removed and replaced with corrugated iron, the roof is now all one level
A new doorway has been made leading from the lounge extension to NiQi's room. The pillar is a feature in both rooms.
NiQi's outside wall built up
Old windows removed and openings cut for new windows
Clearing all around the outside walls to build a huge verandah
