It took a while to get things sorted out, as to how we were going to do things, but with some help from really good friend`s. Matt Bridson with his building experience and Tony Jenkinson who drew up the plans for the shire, we started our journey.
We first put the plan`s in and they were accepted, then it was to start making a list of everything we needed and getting it together.
Allan started making all the frame work for the walls, and I rang around for different things.
We then decided to add more bench space into the kitchen and put a new sink and bench top`s in, these were done back in October 2014 by our local carpenter Jeramy Carter.
Finally everything was in place and we ready to begin, with the help from Allan`s sister Kathy and brother-in-law Tim.

There was extra concrete left over so this went to do the floor in the tractor shed.

The lazy way to level it out the tractor comes in handy.

They have been a wonderful help, without them we could never have done it all. Thank you so much. There will be more to follow later.
