It's taken a lot of work to turn Amberley into the comfortable place that it is. From February to November 2001 Terry has been supervising builders, plumbers, handymen, painters, tilers and others. All of the woodwork, doors, windows, floors were stripped, repaired, restored and varnished. Walls were patched. Glass panes replaced. 
The teak and oregon staircase was sanded and varnished. 
Tonnes of rubble was removed. 
The outside toilet was quite third world. 
We had broken doors and wires hanging from the ceiling. 
A pantry was turned into a bathroom. 
Damp was causing paint to peel off the walls. 
And things sometimes went wrong. While chasing pipes into a bathroom wall the plumbers broke right through the wall and into the next room, collapsing part of the wall. 
New toilets, new basins, new showers, new geysers, new taps, new pipes, new drains ... 
New pipes to the basins in the bedrooms. 
New electric power lines. 
A new shower. 
And yet more plumbing.
