Building In Progress


We are still trying to get the date for this photo when Rhodes Bode started to build the original cottage

Yellow Cottage
Construction begins
Progress! DSTV


About 1998 - very rustic


Candles, gas cylinder stove were the order of the day. There was a single bathroom with NO running water (!).  Ernie installed gas lights in 1974 followed by wiring the cottage for electricity in 1982.
