I joined the construction team with designer-builder Guy Turnbull of LightHouse. I followed up with some stone steps and access ramps from stone sourced on the property.

It's been a long slog but a modest redesign. Plenty of sculptural ideas are percolating away while I'm learning heaps of new skills. It's looking pretty good. There are lots of photos as it's taken many stages. You may need to have a cuppa while they load if you don't have good bandwidth! But it's worth the wait! :o)
