Terrace A - approaching completion

The building site is busier than it has ever been
The cladding on the flats is being finished off

The scaffolding on Terrace B and the Common House has come down a bit early  so that  we can get a cable through the the solar panels on the adjacent terraces before the 31 July Feed In Tariff registration deadline  

The Common House looks roomy now it's not full of scaffolding
The sliding doors will lead to a terrace overlooking the Lune 
A bathroom in a typical house
And the district heating station under the stairs

An upstairs flat

Paving the street
A typical house kitchen
We're screening the stone out of the subsoil which came from the slope that was below terrace E.  The subsoil can be recycled into topsoil whilst the stone can be reused.
