No plurals! Just one house, thank you, on my first attempt <g>. I meant
to post or email yesterday but didn't get a chance. Base construction
took place last night - walls and roof all holding at the moment (but
keep the beads handy). Some bits I'm sure a little wonky, but it's
probably squarer than the house we live in <g>. I'm going to ask Rob to
run the aircon if needed, to make sure the house doesn't get too hot or
humid today. Not sure what the forecast is for today,but it feels warm
already (8.30am) it's expected to be around 40C (104F) tomorrow. And it
gets humid.

My sister and Alex and Nathan are coming over tonight to help in
decorating. I've asked her to bring her digital camera with her, so if
she remembers we'll take a few photos.

Gotta go - got to go to work and spread some more Christmas joy. They've
demolished a couple of loads of rum balls, a couple of lots of Christmas
cake, and a whole heap of candy canes so far. Today there's caramel fudge
and some biscuits.
