The roof on the prefab up the road now appears to be nearly finished, with at least some of the ridge tiles fitted since I last looked.

Mystery panel or panels still sitting on the roof of the container left.

While the sign bottom left tells us that specialist basement fitters-out have now moved in to deal with the hole underneath. People called Glatthaar, market leaders in prefabricated basements. Which appears to include being specialists in areas with high water tables, which this particular bit of our area certainly does have when it rains a lot. Waterlogged clay, with the water just sitting there. Chalk that not many feet down notwithstanding. They also specialists in areas with earthquakes.

The main contractor is now five months into this express building project. So still a little way to go before they make the two and more years clocked up by a more conventionally built timber frame house nearing completion in Manor Green Road. But we understand that the owners - with children - have taken a flat in one of the nearby blocks, so perhaps they won't start to fret seriously until renewing their rental looms into view.

PS: it is a wonder that the heritage people did not insist on fake chimneys, to fit in with all the other chimneys in the road. Put there at a time when people still had fires going up them.
