Yawn ... The novelty is wearing off walls. Worn off as far as Phil's concerned. That said, they're pretty much finished, apart from a couple of front sheets on the studio, and a few more screws here and there. We're now awaiting the return of the elusive roofer to finish the soffits. (Yes, roofer - my foot was stamped firmly down at the thought of Phil hanging by his ankles with a drill.)


Above: street view of east wall. Phil's yet to cut out the round window on the second level, above the front door. Sigh... I can't wait to fall asleep gazing at the stars.


Above: Roadside view of - well, as much as possible. When people insist on planting so many trees around the house it's hard getting a decent photo. (And good grief, will you look at those weeds. Stand up whoever's responsible.) Still, it does give some idea of the wing-like effect of the roof.


And finally: View of the rainforest from the bath (that squarish hole in the floor). Yes, it is a small bath. It's Japanese - small yet deep, so all the better for soaking in. But will it fit a long-legged Aussie man, you ask? Good question - we'd best pop down to the showroom and put him in for a try out, shall we? (Fully clothed, of course.)
