Its really quite difficult to describe the emotions inside....Yes I know its only a house !!!!! But this is a little project I've been working on for three years!!!! Buying the land, designing a house that was to be rejected by the planners, then engaging Huf, then trying again, then changing their preferred design and then getting onto site !!! Its been a long hard road, but today I can see what it has all been about!!!!
Added to this we both waved goodbye to Vanessa and Peter today for they are about to embark on an adventure in France.....it was all happening at once.

On site it all looks great, just what I hoped it would. But these guys work so fast!!!!! If you nip back home for a cup of coffeee, they will have slipped in a few more internal walls and a roof beam in the few minutes you've been gone!!!!!

My brother Don was somewhat surprised when we turned the corner " Bloody hell" was his cry as we crept past the crane and into full view. I don't think he could believe what 5 men and a crane could do in a day and a half. We started to talk about the designs and the optional finishes. You can have black, grey or white. He commented on Ric's ( my fellow blogger in Switzerland)choice of colour as WHITE. " With all that snow around in those mountains, how is he going to find his way home?????"

Anyway, these guys are doing great.....just great!!!!!!

Hey Dad - looks absolutely awesome - i knew it was going to look special but seeing the pics really brings it home. Im just gutted we didn't grow up in this place - we could have made a fortune in pocket money cleaning all those windows :-)
