Well, there's no way I can use the driveway/carport now - apart from the sand/gravel at the top there are huge beams under the carport.
View from room under lounge room.
The deck is starting to take shape. It somehow looks smaller than I thought it would. I can't wait to get out there and see what the views will be like from the edge. The posts in the foreground will be going once the new wall framing is up and the new roof joists go on. Where the posts are will be the back wall of the lounge and will have two big triple-slider doors opening onto the deck.
