The New Stoep/Lapa (6)

At last...
Finished on 19 October, except for some very small details. And prepared for the "official" opening party. The furniture was delivered on Thursday afternoon, and the Magnum bottle of "champagne" is being chilled.

























Ockie who has 40 years of experience building lapas and wooden decks!
Me, Robert and Raymond who is the contractor.

The roof is getting finished, with a layer of insulation that reduces the heat from the sun by 65%.
In a few days everything will be completed.

Building is progressing almost as planned. The rain showers the last few days have delayed the building of the roof, but today it started!

It will only be a few more days until everything is finished. It will be a great Lapa!

The work goes on...
We now have a finished deck, work on the railing is in progress, and the timber structure for the roof is being erected. It will be a marvellous place! I already bought the gas braai (barbeque) that we will use. The temperature is +29 today, so it will be wonderful to have a shady place outside, especially during the hot summer months of December through February.

Work is progressing! We now have a deck to sit on even though it's not finished yet. The railing is now coming up. It will be great!!!
