I lo...oh, I wish I could come to the building week. I love reading what you are up to and how the building is going. We built an extension to our place several years ago and learnt so much from it. We did all but the plumbing and electricity ourselves. It is really frustrating that it is hard to get actual costs for a building project. <br />With the over designed footings, think of them as an investment for future archaeologist to ponder what was there 1000 years ago:) And the top and bottom plates are sort of like the pastry on your yummy looking calzones - they keep the good stuff where it's supposed to be and a base to stop the roof flying away in the first good wind.Debrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06495478561907479460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2295872509186128724.post-29328595801112163182012-04-07T08:50:26.926+10:002012-04-07T08:50:26.926+10:00love the calzones..... dad would be impressed!
