Near Map Updated

If you are building a house around now there is a brilliant website:  http://www.nearmap.com  this site is like google maps only it has multiple photos over a period and you can look at your site over time.  This is what her indoors spotted on the weekend:
We can now see our footings.  This photo was taken on 16 April just two days after our footing were poured.  It gives a great idea of how big our backyard will be.  At the top left is our underground water tank, which is now a little above ground due to all of the settlement.  The backyard is dominated by our stockpile of spoil from the water tank.  The red thing in the bottom right is the portaloo.  The two dots at the top near the cut out are for the alfresco pillars.  The bottom right is our master bedroom.  Top right is our double garage.  It all looks great.

  4. For a PC just press ALT-PRT SCR and paste into Paint and then save as a jpg. Upload the jpg as you would any photo.
