before Christmas, a wild storm swept through Conondale. I arrived just
after it had ended. I hadn't seen the carpenters' progress for over a
week so I went around marvelling at the progress they had made.
En-suite, walk-in-robe and the rafters though half the house. It was
amazing what they had achieved in only two weeks. All this Yang energy
had progressed us so well.

as I went down the hallway I noticed some rubble on the ground. I looked
up and realised the back Timbercrete wall where the back door and toilet
window were, were now horizontal. A freak wind had pushed the wall over.
All other walls were intact. Fortunately we have building insurance, so
were able to recoup the majority of the cost to rebuild the wall.

bricklayer called the Timbercrete guy in Brisbane, who said he
remembered us but strangely sent the wrong sized blocks. Our bricklayer
is now puzzled as how to proceed but says he'll come up with something.
Fortunately for the trees we have had lots of rain here but it has meant
that Mike cannot fix this wall until it is fine for a few days.
Meanwhile Nick and Roger steam on ahead with the framing and the
rafters.
