This is the loft, looking at (what will have) a balcony to look downstairs. There are two bedrooms on each side of the loft.

The Top Storey Frames


From the Air

Thanks very much to Chris and Trish Cowan of Coastwide Helicopters for thinking of us as they flew over our plot. They took these beautiful photos and passed them on to us.

If you click on them they will enlarge and you will see more detail.








The fine line down the middle is the boundary between Peter and Helen's land and ours. North is on the right of the picture. The low lying bush to the South is what our land used to look like.
