So I haven't made a huge amount of progress over the past two weeks. Mostly because I decided to pull down my first wall attempt and start all over again (OCD?? I don't know what you are talking about...)
(The stick at the corner is part of a very complicated and technologically advanced wall leveling system)
And for Grandad Clement - after expecting to wait months for the cycad bulbs to start growing, they have surprised me and all sprung into life bar one :-)
