At the end of 2003 we began our adventure with Kilchrenan and Loch Awe -
16 miles from Oban close to the head of the Loch...
We were lucky enough to consider having a house built:
| March 2006,
Snow, snow, snow... |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| Behind the
house is a big walk to a big Loch, with lots of little lochs and little
walks in between...December 2005 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| August 2005, habitable
but not finished. Long lists of 'snagging' to be done to get the finish
we want... |

| April 23rd
2005 and one
week to go...at least that's the theory!
|
the view from the south hasn't changed much,
except for the garage... |
...half a garage at
least!
|
All the pipe-work for the heat exchanger, but
not in the ground yet... |

Terrace, French
window and garage...
|
...sun terrace... |
It will be
called
An Tigh Dearg
...less than one month to go until it's
finished... hmmm... |
|
January 2005:- building is up, no
power following the storms, so the doors, floors, and just about
everything internal are to follow... |
...kind of what the house will look like from
the bottom of the drive |
a slightly different view west
|
the outside toilet over the hedge
|
the south face of the house - dining room and
back door
|
view from the top corner of the garden, snow
on the hills |
minus the scaffolding and with a bit of white paint
and of course a door and you might think someone lives here
|
| May 2004:- The
plot...work just started on clearing for the foundations |
|
Oh what a plot! |
