The shape is showing

The shape of the house is emerging even more strongly now. The profile of the roof is obvious from these photos, and the sizes of the rooms is becoming obvious.

The regular weekly shot from across the street

We haven't had our first official, inside-the-fence visit to the site yet, but it is very close. All the photographs so far have been taken from the outside using the hold-the-phone-up-to-a-hole-in-the-fence technique. It will be very exciting to have some taken from inside the house, even if we are only looking at the shapes of the rooms.

There is something quite beautiful about the bones of a house

Most of these walls will be double-glazed windows and doors

Back at the front again

Every week brings change. I'm not sure if our house is progressing more quickly than others in the street, but it feels as if it is. One of the external walls on the house across the road has been started, but not much else has changed on that site since last week. There's a house up the road that doesn't seem to have grown at all in the last three weeks. I hope ours continues to grow as quickly as it has.
