Up To Roof Height in a Week


It's only a week since we last posted and you can see there's been plenty of progress despite the weather. The Classroom walls (including internal ones) are all up to roof height and they're starting to put the roof beams on today.


The front deck is also mostly done and gives a good impression of how spacious it will be. You can also get a good appreciation of the size of the 5 metre bi-fold patio doors that will open on to the deck.


 Internally you get a feel of how good the wood finish will be. Presently you can also see the puddles from the heavy rain we've had. We're looking forward to the roof going on in the next week to get it weather tight.

It's Rising Out Of The Ground!


Our new classroom building is finally rising out of the ground! Rather soggy wet ground that is, after probably our worse spell of weather this year.


The construction workers have coped with horrendous wet weather over the last 24 hours but the building is beginning to take shape. We can already see the layout of the rooms and get an impression of the size.


It basically goes together like lego! One beam slots on top of another. We should now see some rapid progress in the next few days.

Classroom Foundations


The foundations are now in place for our fantastic new classroom to go up. The framework base to go on the foundations arrives tomorrow and then it should start to go up quickly.


We'll keep you posted as it rises out of the ground.
