THANK-YOU: Elaine & Alan wish to thank Karawa Guild for their generous gift of money following the loss of their home at The Gap. At the time of writing, the roof is now on, the broken windows replaced, the house has been rewired, the plumbing has gone as far as it can until the plasterers have finished, and they have ceilings with just the walls to come. The painters have started on the outside of the house, so Elaine and Alan are pleased to report that it is all coming together nicely. The builder hopes to have them back in the house sometime in March, so they can�t wait to get their belongings unpacked and be in their own home again. |
