  2. Thank goodness the rain didn't last! Your extension looks massive from that angle and I bet you are looking forward to having a "normal" kitchen again. xx

    1. I know! It's all very exciting! Meanwhile, our Labrador thinks we've just build her a massive new deck! No progress today due to the rain. How about you?

    1. Yes! It has been a very big week! It is great to walk around the space and get a real feel for the new area.

  4. I'm so excited for you. Look at all that extra space just with the joists laid. I am so glad to have found you right at the beginning of this journey, I am really looking forward to what's to come. I love that you are "bunking" there, it will make it so much sweeter at the end to have all that exciting, new, "normal" functioning space.

    1. Thank you! It's encouraging to know people are out there following along. We will only be staying here a little bit longer because the builder will start working on the existing house and the roof is coming off. I'm not sure where we are going to stay yet!
