It's been a while

It has been a while since I updated. I was away over the holidays and now my camera won't upload to the computer. It has malfunctioned so the error message says!! I have so many great photos of our progress but you'll have to wait till I get the camera fixed.
We have done heaps of work. The ground floor sheets and frame are up and over the last few days we have done the flooring on top of the garage and across the join to the main house. It is so exciting and inspiring to be able to walk through the house and envisage how it will be. I love it so much!! We worked on the design for over 3 years and it is perfect for our family. I have lots of little personal bits like a walk in and out "dumping room" for schoolbags and stuff. My laundry is the size of a bedroom with a huge central folding bench and a shute from upstairs. It backs on to our wardrobe so I'm also having a little roller door to transport our clothes. I have also worked out storage spots for everything from boogie boards to the Christmas tree!!
Darren is so happy to have got a decent run in on building. The kids have helped on various days and all in all things are very positive around here!! Tonight, Jake and Ben are camping at the block with some friends. They have a campfire going in an old washing machine bowl and are cooking their own dinner and toasting marshmellows etc. It is a great thing for them!!
I will post some photos as soon as I can. Take care, Jodie.
