First section of framework up

So the last section of slab didn't go in on Friday morning as planned because it was wet.  But you can at least see that it is taking shape.  The en-suite is just visible - the small box in the corner closest to you is the shower, and then the two blue pipes are again the toilet and handbasin.

Of course the far more exciting development is the framework starting to go up!  As you can see, the slab is now loaded up with the framework, waiting for Laurence and Steven to put it all up.  Apparently Laurence has already noticed that two of the pieces have been put together incorrectly by the manufacturer.  I'm sure he'll manage to work around that.

Here you can see that the back wall of bed 3 has been done, as has the back wall of the bathroom next door (the gap is for the external door from the bathroom), then there's the wall between the bathroom and the laundry, and the back wall of the laundry has been done - again with an external door.  This might all go up quite quickly this week - if the weather plays game.  We could get up to 200 mm of rain on Tuesday, but luckily the gales are meant to only go as far south as Canterbury.

Our immediate neighbours (ie. the ones between us and the roof in the distance) are hoping to start this week, so we could be feeling a little more suburban soon!
