Floors and walls!

The build has moved on pretty quickly this week. The red tongue floorboards took a day to put down on the ground floor trusses. Note the piles of walls waiting to be put up in the background -




Then the walls started to go up very quickly indeed -






By the end of the day all the ground floor walls were up except for a few minor ones. This is the view looking into the front door -





The house from the back garden -





The living room -





The dining room, with it's great view of the site toilet and the water tank! -




Grandad's downstairs bedroom suite -





The last two days the top floor trusses have been put on top of the walls. Note the floorboards for the top floor which were craned up today -




Next week - the top floor!
