You were driving past the one in Williamstown then? We are not owner builders though, in case that is what you thought.... who did you sign with, you'll have to start a thread too!!!

They have been braving it for the last few days and are about round to where our glass blocks are. What troupers. And it looks fabulous!!! But as a bribe I left my iPhone in the car for the kids to play with so they wouldn't get muddy!!! So no pics But will definitely go tomorrow and get some!!!
