Houseblogging: there's been a growth spurt

We'd been warned to expect progress but nothing could have prepared us for the growth spurt that there has been on site in the last week. Despite the dreadful downpours this week the building team have take the house to the next level and all the walls are up.

Quite frankly its amazing to be able to walk around what we've only previously experienced in the show home and imagined from reading the plans. The house is as expected except one minor hitch that they've put the door from the kitchen to the utility room in the wrong place. I am sure that knocking the panels out of the wooden frame and moving it along a bit will sort it out!

Next week the roof trusses arrive and then the tricky stuff starts to get the roof on. Fingers crossed the weather stays dry for them to continue to make progress at the current rate.
