This is the latest - Images are top a home prefabrication plant that will be located on the North Coast of NSW. The other two are SUCH developments. A nine apartment development and 50 apartment/retail and commercial development that includes a business/community hub a theatre/education centre and an 1850m2 community garden. Each development includes an integrated energy system that includes PV, batteries, ground sourced heat pump (geothermal). The larger developments will also be considering tri-gen that captures waste heat. We will also be working with local community energy companies that will in the longer term be considering setting up a micro-grid. There will be a formal launch of SUCH Developments projects at the end of June 2017

Thank you so much for your kind words, everyone. Houzz never ceases to delight, I am so glad I began this renovation even though it was an incredibly stressful journey at the time!! Here are a few more pics taken over the last 2 years.

Hi Sally, Just wanted to congratulate you on such a fantastic renovation! The transformation is truly incredible. At first sight, it is hard to imagine how a vibrant music studio could be created given the rather dark features of the original room. But you've definitely risen to the challenge and created a warm, vibrant room which no doubt will inspire fabulous music! All the best, The Schneider Electric Team.

m_mdimond; My constant whippet! Yes change is inevitable. Youth was great! Middle age more challenging, now the dread of what happens as the body slows, bu the mind still runs at top speed! Funny how we eventually become our parents and live with all the things they once complained about: eyesight less sharp, glasses, threading needles a challenge. Oh what we so easily dismissed or took for granted when we were young! Pain at bay to this point. Sad to hear of yours, but fantastic you are still managing to walk your Shepherd, despite it! Dogs keep us centred and motivated. They shower us in love and lack of judgement. My dad had his Jack Russell at his side into his nineties. He was his constant companion and often his sole company for days at a time, other than his twice weekly cleaner. Animals are so special. They deliver their own unique greetings and communicate in such different ways. My life would be so much the less without the animals who have been part of it. So lucky to have had two wonderful ponies and an incredible galloway. So lucky many of my friends had horses too. Horses, dogs and cats are always a point of connection into special human experience and also lead us to new human and animal connections. Nothing wrong with memories and sentiment. I think we feel it even more accutely as we age. Glad I kicked up my heels, as well as keeping those "heels down, legs close to my horses side and and elbows close to my own" for much of my fantastic and sometimes wild youth! I was a pretty good kid really, but do admit to having been a teen groupie, back in the day, wouldn't swap that either. Somewhere here, I believe is my scrapbook and definitely a few photos in the albums. Still like to kick up my heels, too! Yes. Gratitude is vital.
