The framing for the ground floor has begun.

Going up is impressive.

After many weeks of preparation, the day came for pouring the slab.

More slog and scraped knuckles getting the reo into the trenches.

Long hot days digging and boxing the footings for the slab.

It is an ambitious project. Two stories, with the bottom level dug into the hill.

Chris has a block across the gully from me. It is on top of the ridge and you can look across the plains to the sea.
