a
wood stove keeps the workshop dry and warm. What a
change from living in the damp and draughty donga! |

We
got the building permit for the extension |
| Building
our own house was much easier -up to this point- than we
had anticipated. We decided to extend the project and
build an extension as well. The bathroom and the toilet
will be larger than originally planned. Together with a
guest room they will form a separate building. In
the main building a proper staircase will provide easy
access to the lofts. A laundry has room for hot water
system, washing machine dryer and freezer. |

the
excavator levels the ground behind the house to
make room for the extension.
a
25,000 liter water tank will later be placed
next to the grey water tanks. Now is the right
time to make room for it. |

our
donga will be picked up tomorrow. We have to move it
downhill and position it right in the middle of our road
so that the tilt truck can load it. A jack, a few
pieces of timber and steel and a fair bit of patience
make the job easy. |

more
work for the excavator. The driveway now leads all the
way up to the house and into the carport as well.
