It's a sign...

...or to be more accurate it's actually two signs. It seems both the architect and builder have now got sufficient confidence in the project they are willing to advertise their involvement.

You can see work has started on the front gable. The roof is proving more time consuming than planned. They've deployed an extra carpenter - it would be more than one, but they (selfishly it seems to me) insist on going on holiday.

Otherwise it is mostly on schedule. The only question is will I be able to persuade Southern Water to connect the water supply (or even return my calls) before the house is finished. They've only got four months, it's not looking good so far.
