Another height increase

The walls are building up really quickly now. I am extremely excited  and can suddenly picture what its going to look like!






Wall height is increased






Brick walls

We now have walls made of real bricks not blocks. Things are really getting a move one!




Finished foundations and walls being started







Insulation causing a traffic jam


Well as the picture below shows the delivery of the insulation blocked up the whole street. Which didn't seem to go down too well with people on their way back from work.







Well the delivery of the insulation went smoothly until the middle wheel went straight through the man hole cover and left remains in the drain.
