The balcony, part II
On Sunday work started on the second part of the balcony - the bit next to the kitchen. Jayne and Christine started by hacking our beautiful camelias, roses and ferns right back to nothingness … 
but they’ll grow back in a year or so … and then work started on the decking boards and supporting beams. As we suspected, some parts of the beams were cactus. To be honest it’s surprising that something hasn’t broken yet.
There’s still plenty of work to do but these photos (and more on the jayneandmarty Picasa page) make for a good progress report.
