More Building Work at Our Flats

Tony our landlord has started another stage in his building development at our group of flats.  The single story house that Tony, Mary and their family lived in last year has had the roof removed while we were in New Zealand over the Christmas period.  Tony is adding a story onto the ground floor.  

The addition will be a concrete floor.  The supports are in place to support the floor while the work is completed to set up the reinforcing steel, tie in the walls and pour the concrete.

The flat between our flat and the building site (which is to the right of the photo) is used to store the roofing steel, and will be used as a base to mix additional concrete and hold the reinforcing steel currently stored on the ground.
