Ulovane Progress @ 24 December

Not much to report on progress as at 24 December, herewith some pics of the kitchen showing the under coat of paint and the tiling that has begun where the stove belongs. Sad to report that the builders did not complete as required. Keep watching this space, the builders were all back on site on the 5th January, so roll on end of January for completion.

Visted the camp on Saturday, progress is going quickly, although with builders closing down they only have 3 weeks to go.
Lots of excitement going on to see the finished product.
Top left is the first set of rooms.
Bottom left is the path way which Schalk and Ben are personally carrying rocks or rolling rocks to big to carry to form the path way to rooms via the main lodge
Top right is the entrance into the main lodge.
Bottom right is a further back view of the outside of the main lodge. The stone work that is been laid is absolutely stunning.
Watch this space for more updates.
