Haven't forgotten about this thread, just don't think it is appropriate to show any more pics of the rooms, due to privacy issues etc. Hope you understand

I have decided to do a before and after picture though, so you can see what it looked like as a patch of sand, then the finished house.

Hope you have all enjoyed this thread. I've enjoyed doing it, and although building has been a bit of a stressful process at times, I am so pleased we had the chance to do it.

Hopefully this will help others who are thinking of doing the same sort of thing.

It would be good to keep this thread open, and if anyone has any questions I will try my best to help.

....you never know, there may be some reno's done in the future that may be of some interest

Speaking of reno's we eventually got air conditioning put in. One summer of 40+ degrees was enough for me!

After a recommendation from St George's Girl, we got it installed last week. I would highly recommend the company, as they did a fab job.

Roll on the summer is all I can say

Pleased to hear that A. Never heard of anyone that hasn't given him the thumbs up as yet and I've recommended him to quite a number of people who have subsequently gone on and used his company. Nice bloke too isn't he?

No I haven't had one. Time just went so quick, and then a year was over!

Would it be too late to have one now?

How you doing btw?
