WEEKEND BREAK-AWAY UNDER CONSTRUCTION*, LAKESIDE DRIVE, BETTY'S BAY

*Desmond Desai reports:

"Over the weekend of 17 and 18 May 2008, the building construction ( - which I am doing entirely on my own - ) reached the following stage:

"I am happy to report that thus far, notwithstanding three near-accidents on site, I am still unscathed. I am also completely healthy. Building keeps me extremely fit and fully occupied. I try to build meticulously and in accordance with the plans passed by the local authorities. These plans were designed and drawn entirely by myself, thanks to the Engineering Geometry (Drawing) course I completed at the University of Cape Town in 1970.

"I am thoroughly enjoying all facets of the building experience. I am thrilled at being able to realize my creation through my own efforts at this mature stage of my life!"

Building as at 25 May 2008:
