Finished!

Yesterday we raised both buildings; firstly the Japanese tea house, then the European Pavilion. Our preparations had been good and both went up with amazing speed and few technical problems. Then we had the formal ceremonies for both buildings before finally having a big party to celebrate.

I will post more pictures and video when I can, but we are moving accommodation today and I don't know when I will next have internet access.

Hey that looks really impressive - do I spot some carvings on the entrance lintel and supporting brackets?

I can't wait to see the end result.

The brackets have a carving of a Japanese plane on one side and a European one on the other. The inscription across the top is in German, roughly translated as "It is beautiful to keep with tradition whilst developing new things."

Lots more pictures tomorrow once my brain has worked out which time zone it is in!!
