The timber frames to the two smaller blocks are now all-but complete. The next process to these blocks will be the roof finishes and installation of the windows and external doors as well as the external stone-work. Timber frame to the larger block, nearest to Wakefield Road, will be progressing this week so that the whole building plots can be seen in relation to the whole site. Main work areas over the next few weeks will concentrate on making the buildings weather-tight ahead of pushing the internal finishes.

The perimeters of the 3 blocks are now surrounded by scaffolding ahead of the timber frame erection. The scaffold has to be placed ahead of the timber frame so that the components of the frame can be securely fitted together at ground, 1^st and roof levels. It also remains in place for the external stone work and protection for the roofers.

Over the next 2 weeks the outline of the 2 smaller blocks will emerge and soon after the roof will be completed. Within a short time the blocks are recognisable and can be realised against the existing surroundings.

The recent bad weather and snow has fortunately not had too bad an impact on the work so far, hopefully the freezing temperatures are now behind us!
