It came as no surprise a few months ago when an old factory site that had been cleared earlier in the year all of a sudden started to sprout buildings. I noticed with interest as i used to drive to and from work that at first they looked like some kind of shed or garage.
Eventually the buildings however took shape and in fact they were/are houses!
I'm told by those in the know that this is how they build "modern houses" today. The structures in the foreground are like plywood studded walls with some insulation foil stuff on the outside. once the upper floor is added the structure is surrounded by bricks like the completed ones in the background. Amazing! it will be interesting to see the prices when they go on the market!
Once again, like the rest of the country we have had a fair sprinkling of snow and because the traffic is very light on the road outside (the A6) it looks quite dangerous at the moment,
Here I am this morning attending an 0700 "board meeting!" Clearing the snow with a plywood board attached to a stick! from around the top of our back steps before being helped by a neighbour to clear the ramp that leads form the main road to the back of our terrace.
I know the snow is a pain for a lot of people but the pics this morning are really quite nice here's a link to a few and a video showing much more snow that fell one Dec night back in 2010.
