Walls!

We've got walls! Framing the ground floor is done, and work has begun on the second floor. Compared to the snail's pace of the basement, where days went by with just coats of waterproofing being applied, or sand being moved about, this has been thrilling.

Okay thrilling is maybe a stretch but it's certainly been satisfying to walk down there every day and see very visible progress. Here's thirty days worth of that progress, in 11 seconds.

Now the walls are up it's possible to walk around the house and really see how the layout works and what the windows look out onto. So far nothing has surprised or disappointed us either, which is great.

Here's where we got to by the end of last week:

In the next couple of weeks the second floor will go on. And then, presumably (well, one would hope) the roof. Onwards and literally upwards.
