A major milestone in the project has been passed....  the construction of the stairs.

..... and Teddy approves. He came in and went straight up.

This post is about the "bungalow" that many readers will remember from your time in residence.

Since you were there the room has been moved 3.5metres toward the house and the house roof has been extended to cover the room.  The space between the house and the room now has a small balcony at the ground floor level and a larger balcony at the upper floor level.... with a door onto it from the main house and from the upper floor of the bungalow.

.... and inside the room.... looking toward the sink.... 

The large window has been filled in and a staircase will rise from the new door to the top floor.  Looking from the sink end.... 

The old linings are being gradually removed and a new raised ceiling will be put in. The opening to the left will be the entrance. 

I hope you enjoy this progress report.

The looping is still a problem..... she's down to one DVD this week.

I've had some fun...... digging with the Kanga..... If it ever rains properly again, we'll have a nice pond down there.

Well!...... that was certainly a great success.  It will be a very strong memory for her for a long long time.

(.... which prompts the thought "What's the difference between memory and imagination?"

The reports were that she danced every dance. When we walked away from the dance she was on top of the world..... Sooo excited! 

It was a long time before she settled to sleep. 

This morning she's still asleep at 9am.

The "semi-formal" dance is on tonight.  Kaylia is very excited.  She's going to have the full make up thing.

...... getting her hair tizzied up

Photos to come

Naomi and I will be close by in case things go awry..... and we'll stay the night at a resort so we don't have to drive. 

The building is progressing well..... the cladding of the outside walls is nearly done.  The balcony is fairly cosy now with the decking complete and the railing in place.
