Index Page to our Owner builders journal

(mainly for my darling daughter who is a speed demon browser)

If you are interested in keeping up to date with progress on the house you may like to bookmark this page

I have decided to add this index page so that we are not cutting into your valuable web browsing time. It will have the pages and dates of updates for those of you that have been here before and don't want to wade through all the stuff you've already seen. For all the new visitors and those with time to burn feel free to just plod on.
Hugs and kisses,
jonesy ;-).

click on the date, it's a link to the latest updated page in our owner builder diary.

For the full tour you can Start Here or use the site menu in the sidebar, alternatively just go to the updated pages below. There is a link at the bottom of each page to the next.
(because a picture is worth a thousand words I have used plenty on these pages, they may take some time to load if you have a slow connection)

For anyone having trouble with the metrics, here is a conversion table for you to play with.
