Tuesday
Today was the day…
It was quiet in the morning, but got busy in the afternoon. Julian went back to Johannesburg. A week from now he’ll be back. 🙂
Mike and Courage went off to Echo to build bathroom cabinets. They did a really good job and have got the main carcasses sorted. This is the skeleton for the one in our bathroom…we still need to get the engineered stone counter top and the drawers will both be white. It’s looking good.
Meanwhile, the side balcony has got its roof beams. That’s looking good. I got some photos of different angles…
Below this balcony is ‘rubble road!’ This is what we have been clambering up to get to the front door…
This is looking down …you have got to be pretty sure-footed.
Under all that rubble is the remainder of the stairs and, the news from this evening, is that tomorrow the truck is coming and they will be taking it all away. We will have stairs all the way up to the top. We’ll wait and see if this picture changes…this is from the top step.
It once looked like this…(12th October 2019)
We are looking forward to the stairs looking something like this again. It’s wonderful to have the house built. Crazy that Werner has been working on-site for almost a year. The house wouldn’t be here without him. I’ll be be there tomorrow evening to see how it looks.

Romans 5:3-4
We also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope.
The best is yet to come.
Keep the smile going.
God bless you.

Braces:
Ta da! 1 year and 300 days. I’m seeing the difference. I’ve got elastics to wear and they are so effective. I see the orthodontist next week and I’m sure he will be happy!
