Michael, you have done much more than merely build. You have given us part of yourself and have blended skill with friendship and produced something truely wonderful.

From working with you, Kevin came to appreciate the meticulous care that you take. Our admiration for your work as a builder is boundless. Add to that our respect for your patience and understanding.

Jan, we give you our grateful thanks too. You have made us countless "cuppa's", made us feel welcome, and let us have Michael, phonewise and in person, for so many, many hours - time which should have been yours - and still greeted us with a smile. I, Valerie, would have been a lot less patient!

Mr McDermitt and Mr Weatherall are building experts and they say Michael is the best in the business, but even they can't know all the little extras.

If we were to never meet again, how could we live in our home without thinking of you every day, it is so much more then we dared dream and has all those extra ideas which the pair of you thought of. We hope that this past year is only the first of a long lasting friendship, for we value our relationship greatly, christened as it has been in record rainfall and growing strong in white clay. Our thanks and admiration to you both.

Valerie and Kevin.
