Arrived back at the block last night to find  – A ROOF !!  But the downside of this is that you can no longer see the stars from inside the kitchen. (some people are never happy are they)

Because it was dark when I got back last night  I got up super early to take some pics for you all so you can inspect the roofing progress.  I have to say that the monkey bars look far less stable than the ones I used to play on and given I have grown a bit I don’t think I will be attempting any aerial acrobatics up there any time soon.

Walking around inside now you really start to get a feel for how the spaces will be in terms of light and feel etc.  I don’t think we have enough windows… but I guess you can’t have every room facing north now can you – (well -not on our site anyway).   I’m sure that once the gib is up and the walls painted it will feel lighter again.   It really is quite neat seeing all the changes along the way.  I loved it when the framing went up because it was like having an instant house, but now the roof has gone on, that completely changes it yet again.  I imagine that when the doors/ windows go in will be another huge change in the feel of the place.   I can’t wait to get in there and unpack our stuff and all of the kitchen things.   I have a lovely Kitchen Aid mixer that B brought me for my birthday nearly 2 years ago  and I haven’t used it as I wanted to use it for the first time in the house (if I’d known how long i’d have to wait I would have shelved that idea ages ago. lol).  B also has a fancy new flash coffee machine which is also in it’s box as I said that the same rule had to apply. So the upshot of all this is that we will be able to produce you a (hopefully) lovely coffee and some cake/ treats when you come to inspect the finished product.

Anyway – enough talk of cakes – it’s making me hungry.  Here’s some pictures.
