| 8/07/05 This weekend, Craig and I started the loft extension. We can really get a feel for what the place will look like when its finished, and how much room we have to work with. Basically what we've done here is attach 4 squares to the loft. At this point they are being held up with 2X4s until we get our posts, which will hopefully be in the next week or two. This is the landing our stairs will connect with. We hope to have the loft finished in the next few months. Apologies for some of the photos, there are some spots of sawdust or something on the lense. |

| We also had to remove the middle window. Its a blessing in disguise because when we put it in its proposed new location it should allow for more light. |

| Mr. Kali gives it his seal of approval: |
| We have finally used most of the wood we had stockpiled and can now get an idea of how big the kitchen area will be. |
