By mid 2007 the design had been modified as we built, and had to make changes to the construction (monomur walls on 3 sides of the main floor for reasons described in Design Changes) A balcont was added with a large sliding door.

The roof window wasenlarged and some changes made to the facade onto the terrace.

A projected view of the mezzanine.

Living room design in September 2007 - the mezzanine at this stage was to have tempered glass under the rail. As the building progressed internal details kept changing as prices were received and I worked on the joinery myself, and we bought materials, and things like insulation, doors, tiles, sanitaryware, etc on sales. I bought all the timber for framing partitions, floors, etc. direct from sawmills, and cut and planed everything on site (see progress photographs weeks 14 onwards)
