I'm jealous of all of that space, inside and outside of your new home! Plenty of space to ICK So glad the building is over, never again. Loooove our house, but still not quite sure it was worth all of the stress they put us through! Re: Jo's House: Update 18/3. 354Mar 24, 2009 8:14 am Bloody 'ell I missed the latest update...I thought you were still going to live in Miami and holiday in Majorca with Juan the real estate speculator and part time spammer. Good luck with the build...glad to here that so far reasonably good with the new builder...you experiences with the other two will hold you in good stead with the new builder...remember document everything. As for the glogging (your words) and tongue firmly implanted in cheek....Bridgeport...which is it a bridge or a port...Retreat...what you planning on having a war in your house...Alfresco...looks like couldn't spring for the fourth wall to make it a proper dining room...and Entry that leads onto a Foyer and then a Gallery...for frigs sake it's a hallway. I'm surprised the garage isn't a Vehicular Lounge. And as for your pot drawers...you shouldn't keep your stash in the kitchen...now if you had "pot" drawers in the "powder" room..... mmm....donuts Homer Simpson 1956- Links: Site Costs Ready Reckoner | H1 Addiction Medical Advice | Château TDL: The Backyard Re: Jo's House: Update 18/3. 355Mar 24, 2009 8:33 am Where did I say glogging?? If it's on here I can't edit it now so it has to stay! As for your comment about the foyer and gallery... I said exactly the same thing on my blog!!!!

I'm surprised the garage isn't a Vehicular Lounge. We thought the entry/foyer/gallery thing was a bit much, but the retreat is very aptly named. It's where we lock the door and hide from the kids.
