More materials arrive on site!

The first roof trusses arrived on site yesterday.  Note the bobtail construction, which allows for a  thick roof insulation layer without thermal bridging

Also on site are the manhole rings which are to form columns foundations on which Terrace E will stand

The materials have arrived for reinforcing the slope behind terraces C and D.  The green baskets will hold gabion stone.

Meanwhile the boilerhouse subcontractors have started work in the Mill.  This is the bank of three backup boilers that will handle the peak load, as well as providing cover when the woodchip boiler is being serviced.

Work on Terrace B is progressing well despite the weather, now that there are more bricklayers on site.

... and Terrace C will soon be ready for the floor slabs to be cast

The location of Terrace E is very muddy - now that work has started on the slope reinforcement

This explains why the temporary footpath closure was needed...

The excavation here has to go right up to the site boundary and will get deeper by the day...
