The Jiaojiehe House from the West

Our own Jiaojiehe House:

Jiaojiehe environs:

This page shows developments looking over Yuehong's brother's (Yuechiang) garden which we rented for the duration. In early October 2004, after numerous delays, the foundations are down and the walls are shooting upwards.

In late October 2004, the building is racing higher and higher!

By November 2004, the roof is on just before winter comes.

April 2005, the timber has been stored here over the winter to season and to avoid big price rises. Just about every wooden feature in the house (except the floor boards) was constructed using simple equipment in the garden.

June 2005 and the house is suddenly extending south.... The sawn timber is ready to be converted into furniture....

Late October 2005, the garden has been tidied and from the outside everything appears finished....
