| A selection of photos from site today, starting with Terrace F where the very last few blocks are being laid and the roof trusses are now in place |
 |
| The render has to go on in four coats, which has taken some time, in amongst the rain showers. The banding around the windows has just been started on units 1u and 2 and looks great |
 |
| All the socket boxes get a parge coat of plaster behind them to ensure airtightness - the blocks are porous and it is the plaster that stops the draughts |
 |
| The MVHR ducts are finally progressing well, this is the fresh air outlet to one of the bedrooms |
 |
| Plot 4 has the most advanced electrics - this is the kitchen area. |
 |
| Down on Terrace D, foundations are underway now for all 10 houses |
 |
| The far end of the street wont be quite as narrow as it looks here - the foundation is wider than the house walls will be. |
 |
| Terrace E foundations are a bit ahead of schedule |
 |
| Terrace C roofing is nearly complete |
 |
| Work has started on the roof of the Common House ancillary building |
The pedestrian street is really beginning to show its shape and character, the twists, and changes of width are great. The contrast between the cliff face, the modern houses and the almost medieval nature of the street its self are stunning.
ReplyDeleteThe banding round the widows does look great. Terrace F is really taking shape, I've been dying to see how it looks once the top floor and roof go on. It really adds that Pattern Language concept of "High Places". Soooo tempting to increase our mortgage and go for the last of those houses. The children think the downstairs space is so great with the large space and super high ceilings they'd probably be re-modelling the space every 6 months if we lived in it.
