Our hairs sprang upright [...]

Our little sanctuary in the making

It started about a month and a half ago, when our little sanctuary went under the scrutiny of our trusted contractor friend. Official work started on the 26th Dec 07 and from then on our lil home never looked the same. Heaps of sand, bricks and broken tiles filled our driveway, dust swathed floors greeted [...]
