The build has gone through what is likely to be the most dramatic period of rapid change it will see. Five weeks ago there was only a set of bare slabs, there is now something that looks like a house – albeit with a distinct lack of external blockwork which is currently only up to lower floor lintel height. However there is the prospect of the zinc roof and the windows both starting to be installed in a week’s time.
