| The first of the roof timbers were put into place this week. We have two types of roof - the first, seen here, will have insulation at rafter level, because in this case it is accommodating the bed loft of the upstairs flat |
 |
| In the middle of the terrace we are using trusses which have been manufactured off-site. Here the insulation - half a metre of it - will be a ceiling level. The two different types of roof have to be lined up with great care. |
 |
| Meanwhile the first batch of triple glazed windows is ready to leave the Greensteps factory |
 |
| Up at Terrace E more ground has been temporarily dug away. It is hard to believe that this is where the top footpath once was, and will be again within a few weeks. It is about the worst possible time of year to be having to do this work. The builders are having to content with large quantities of wet clay. |
 |
| But despite the weather the foundation upon which these houses will sit are progressing well |
 |
| Meanwhile the scaffolding on terrace A shows what the view from the balcony of the remaining house, plot 5 , will be like. The picture above is looking upstream. The plans for the 'boathouse' opposite include a slate roof, sandblasting the stone walls, and new windows. The roof truss top left is on its way to the neighbouring house roof, by the way! |
