A few changes for us - long time coming

Post by mattwastell »

Hello all.

I have been quite preoccupied of late (I have missed my solar viewing & chatting to you all) due to a house renovation & of course COVID.

In February we had to move out of our house as our long awaited renovation / extension began. K & I have been planning this for years - we love our location so wanted to stay put & not move - small lot code, period challenges & poor access made it quite the project - fortunately we finally found a great architect & builder.

I have always had a simple philosophy with buildings - you can only live in one room at a time so McMansions were not for us.

If you are interested have a look at some of the pics - I am looking forward to getting the scopes out very soon - the Sun, Moon & planets arc across the sky from my new bedroom deck - a well planned roof line!

Glad to be seeing SolarChat again!

Hi,

Beautiful house and inner decoration. Feels really warm. Well done.

About living in one room, well, I have a Studio and an Observatory, but yes, I spend of the time in the Observatory :)
