March 2007 and we have started work building up the tower. The first thing to do was build the wooden viewing platform at the top of the staircase. The image here shows the finished platform with a short wooden block acting as a temporary newel post.

The top of the tower is to have an uneven 'tumbledown' rim and building it is very much a case of making it up as we go along. We are almost finished now - we need to build up high enough in front of the platform to incorporate a banister rail and spindles.
