| The railings along the riverside have been completed - nice industrial look, and will not clog up with debris if the water ever does come this high... |
 |
The builders have finished excavating the cliff face by Terrace D. I was interested in the various markings indicating where the finished pedestrian level will be, as they have had to dig down to put underground services in. I was also wondering how terrace D people will want to use the protruding wall nails - hanging baskets perhaps? or attachments for wires for climbing plants? |

| Trusses have appeared on houses 2-5 in terrace A, but the builders are frustrated by the lovely sunny but freezing weather, which means they cannot lay anymore blocks as the mortar would freeze. So they are unable to finish block laying to install the roof timbers for the flats at each end. |
 |
| I do admire the scaffolding, so much more efficient and safe than the sort of scaffolding I used when I was a builder in the 1980s... |
 |
| A similar delay on building up the walls for the guest rooms etc. |
 |
Shock arrival of the windows on Monday. The builders are not quite ready to install them. |

| Our neighbour Ralph from Out of the Woods, who is one of the contractors bidding for installing the common house kitchen. He is showing the range of eco-samples for the surfaces. Despite the happy smile, he is dismayed by the high price of eco materials in comparison with non-eco. My understanding is that is all to do with lack of demand, and if only more people would buy, the price would come down. |
