Almost all the way around

Since Beatrice and Bastian was home ill yesterday, we had time to take a walk to see what was going on at the lot. They had almost finished putting up walls all around the ground floor. This is a view from the street near the grocery store, over our neigbours lawn.

Beatrice and Bastian looked at the crane carrying some concrete blocks. We did not enter the construction site because we did not want to be in the way, so they are standing on some building material deposited on the street outside the lot.

The rubble in the front is partly the wood, roots and stumps from the cut-down trees, some building material, and partly stuff left over when they dismantled the garage (which Jeka managed to sell on the internet). We had hoped the buyer would take away everything, but they left quite a mess with stuff they presumably thought was not re-usable, such as old insulation and for some reason also the garage door. Some of it we will have to transport to the dump ourselves.

The crane is pointing at the last few segments to be put up in order to complete all outer walls on the ground floor.

One can also see some of the scaffolding they have begun to set up.

Beatrice found a piece of the concrete for our walls. I imagine that the small air-bubbles in it give it good insulation properties. When walking around the house one can see lots of small pieces like this have fallen off, so they will obviously have to repair the dents in the walls somehow.
