Building Project

[Steve.r]

I go away to work and my wife decides to start a building project. It is a conversion of our garage/storage area which Steve and Emma stayed in when they visited us. Now it is our new house. All my wife's design and hard work, something that kept her busy through her pregnancy.

I said to my wife please try not to cut down the Mango tree as it is so nice to have the shade and fruit. Take a close look at where it is in the photos :biggrin:

Thanks for posting fascinating photos Steve, well done Charie :xxgrinning--00xx3:.

How good it must be to pick your own mangoes :smile:.Thanks Alan, all I got were the occasional photos while I was in China, so a big surprise. The mangos normally get eaten green, not to my taste, but you can guess who eats them all :doh


wow nice place makes my pad look like a dolls house lol love the flag on the wall :smile:Home is home Tiger whatever the size or location. Is your home in the city or a rural area? We are just outside a small town but it can get noisy with the motors buzzing by, your home looks like it is in a nice quiet location. By the way, I am going to have to find that flag.... not sure where it has been hidden!!


Looks fantastic Steve. Well done to all. :xxgrinning--00xx3:

Is there still space to pitch my tent under the tree ? :biggrin:lol, any time Graham, but you can sleep in the kubo if you forget the tent lol :icon_lol:


Your wife did a good job :xxgrinning--00xx3:Cheers Jake, I will tell her. We are still coming down to see you soon, but today Charie twisted her ankle, so maybe next week when she is walking better again :smile:

The guy looks as if he weighs no more than 50 kilos..If you notice, he's stood on a cross section..I would imagine he's up there for a reason :biggrin:...The 'stick' looks like a crow bar....may be Steve can throw some light on it :biggrin:

[grahamw48]

Everyone has at least one of those special green builder's chairs in the Phils . :biggrin:
