One Year On

A year has passed, with our builder on site once more.

The end of June 2014 arrived in Reikorangi as Builder John's men were measuring and setting out the foundations for the extension to the house. Unfortunately, my photos from that period are hiding somewhere in the digital wilderness after "incident" with the laptop, so I have grabbed this photo  from one of those building project posts. The 20-year-old weatherboards (painted in a light brown) have quite obviously weathered...

2014: John's assistant apprentice Shamus (Seamus, I would have thought) carefully ties
the builder's line to the reference points for the dig.

At the end of June 2015, Builder John was back once more. This time to attend to the long-awaited delayed renovation of the weatherboards around the upstairs bedrooms.

2015:  The extension  slightly obscured on the left, the weatherboards
upstairs painted to match the new surfaces downstairs.
