We're running through many ideas and options for a renovation of our 'new' house.
There's been the sandpit modelling of site contours:
Most of the block is flat, but we have a long driveway coming up our west side through trees. We're about 9mt above the street. One idea was to turn into the yard about half way up the existing driveway, but the access, steepness and the sandiness all got a bit too expensive and difficult.
The modelling idea didn't work so well as the sand wouldn't behave. But we did find a quirky table to do the 3D modelling on, and will make that do another duty of .... something.
There have been days of immersed drawing on tracing paper.
And now we are up to site mock ups of what could be, with bits of old timber and tape and ladders and rocks and rope.
Currently, this is the new mistresses bedroom, pushing out from the southwest corner of the house. Mish in bed with a view of the island. All those veggie boxes will get moved out of the shade of that new building. (The white mesh veg cover in the background is over one swan plant that survived winter and that now has an egg on it. Monarch butterflies are warmed up and on the move.)
Looking along the south side of the house:
Wood splitter and splitting block are in the new bathroom.
In the meantime, the last wood splitting of winter is a happening thing.
