The first 'roof'!




It's already been a month since we last posted, and true to our word here's a shot of the water tanks, with a roof! That'll be the first 'finished' part of the house then.

There's a shot taken from just in front of what will hopefully be one of the nicest parts of the house - the alcove with two-storey-high windows pointing pretty much south east for maximum sun-intake!

The other shot shows how the place is looking from the other side - the earth is packed in nicely in each room, ready for a layer of sand and its plastic damp-proof covering. The big earth wall you can see is the next problem on our hands: we've got to figure out how to contain the earth while allowing for a view of greenery from the windows as well as a path which will hopefully lead up the hill from the front door.
