    Building Project

    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

    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

    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!!

    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 ...The 'stick' looks like a crow bar....may be Steve can throw some light on it
