Baufritz rises

The Baufritz house most recently noticed at references 1 and 2, has now risen from the ground. Heralded by some unusual low loaders turning up from over the seas.


Cortana had trouble with the winter sun, setting behind the crane - the largest crane that I have seen in our road since that noticed at reference 3.


According to BH they only got planning permission on the grounds that the house was clad in wood and had a pitched roof. As of now, it has a pitched roof of sorts, albeit with a large flat bit in the middle, a device adopted by many of the extenders hereabouts. Clad in wood I am not so sure about. The long running house in Manor Green Road, last noticed at reference 4, was clad in what looks like rather similar white panels, and they were just covered with some kind of a white skim.



The blue thing on top of the container is another panel for the house, substantial affair with substantial timbers inside, roughly the sort of thing which frames our own roof, maybe 2 inches by 6 inches, sawn.


Must be costing a bit to hire the crane for weeks at a time. £500 or £1,000 a day? With more fine cranes to be seen at reference 5 - with the one above being said to be good for 350 tons. Presumably the metric sort.
