Florida 2009
Our holiday in Florida this year encompassed Miami, Orlando - including the Epcot Center at Disney World, Anna Maria Island near Tampa, The Everglades, Key West and Key Largo.

Dophins at Key West
These pictures are from a trip to watch dolphins near the harbour in Key West, Florida.

Timelapse
The video below shows the back of the house being built, from just after the work commenced, to the last image which was taken in the third week of December 2008.


Finishing Touches

The building process has now finished and the builders have left the house.

Lots of things still to do, like decorating, flooring and a kitchen, but all of that is down to us now.

Picture from the past
This picture of my Grandad and Great Grandad has been sent to me and I thought I would share it.

Edinburgh

Some pictures of the trip to Edinburgh in November 2008


A quick before and after comparison
The two pictures below show the house as it was and how it is now, the first taken the weekend before we started the construction and the second taken on Thursday 23/10/08.


Chennai

I'm back in Chennai on Business for a couple of weeks, so here are some photo's of the sights I didn't see last time


Phase 3 begins- its a real breakthrough

While I'm here in India Fiona has sent me pictures and from them I can see that the main roof is now complete, so the main scaffolding has been dropped, the floor boards are down upstairs and the new walls have started to be formed.

The old utility room walls have been removed, and the breakthrough to the new upstairs has just started.

Roof Roof

The roof trusses arrived today and are now put in place ready for tiling to start. Click here for lots of photos from the last two days

Just to prove that the weather is against us, look at this rain radar picture from today, the only place in the entire area to have rain !


Mr and Mrs Holmes - 13/09/2008

Pictures from Abbie and Nick's wedding on Saturday, congratulations to them both and all the best for the future


Ranton Abbey

Our local Abbey was opened up for a picnic organised by our local church, this site is not normally opened to the public so it was a great opportunity to visit it. Here are some photogrpahs of the day.

These are also posted at www.ranton.info which has lots of information about the village.


And so it begins

Day 1 and things are already happening at pace, I've started a new collection of photo's for the first phase of works.

A quick before and after photo :
