This is our property below and it shows all the new building work we did recently. Quite odd thinking about being photographed from space!

Getting there. Just a bit more structure and some electrical/mechanical work, then I can cover it! Looking forward to throwing it off a cliff after 6 months work!

Would have be awesome to watch!
