Renovations - Part 5

So much for my predictions about the construction progress... I was totally wrong. The builders have done heaps this week!! The floor has been laid, and it looks so much better!! Now everything looks tidy and orderly, rather than just holes in the ground or blocks of concrete. We are all really excited - it is so encouraging to see everything coming together.

Here is a photo taken from the east side of the house. This angle shows it the best, I think. The only trouble is that it's hard to include the full length of the construction.

From the backyard (on the north side):

You're probably wondering what's with all the upside down black flowerpots... you see, we've been playing handball on the new floor, and some of us were getting really "into it", even to the point of diving/sliding on the floor to get to the ball. Since there were metal posts sticking up around the edges, this was, as you can imagine, quite a dangerous activity. The solution was to place the flower pots over the posts, which, although somewhat unsightly, was effective

Finally, here is a closer view taken from the back door. As you can see, it didn't take us long to mess up the place! I kind of hope that the builders won't do anything for a couple of days, because we're having a lot of fun playing handball there at the moment!!
