This is a photographic record of the 30 years we have lived in our home in the beautiful valley of Hout Bay, situated just 17 kms from downtown Cape Town. We originally built our house on a "shoestring" budget and like so many other owner builders, we were caught by our building contractor, who disappeared before finishing off the house, leaving us with the struggle of having to build the remaining out buildings ourselves. Yet we prevailed and 30 years later we can look back at the photos taken during this time and enjoy the many happy memories recorded on film!
