A few more floors to go I think. I make it 12 complete floors out of the 15. Cheers for the pics, good capture of the cladding on the lorry there.

I wonder why they have stopped, it may be because the top few floors are slightly sunken, but I wouldn't see the advantage of putting the cladding on first before the steel work has finished, it might be to do with delivery of parts, i.e. cladding is ready, but they are struggling to get the steel, so they do the cladding when ready. Who knows?

Wow, did Mr Masshouse really put all that up by himself?

It's starting to look Ok in the spring sun . I like the rounded ends and set against its angular neighbour, I believe the finished product may well surprise us .

I've liked it from the beginning. I don't get why you guys are hatin on it, cos to be honest the cladding is very similar to its next door neighbour, and most of you like him a lot!

A rainy one from the other day:
 I think the overall effect of the cladding will work fine, as it is starting to look better already.

I'm a bit worried it's not getting any higher, wonder when they'll slap the top floors on?

Dunno, all I can think of is that they're having trouble getting hold of the steel, so they're pressing on with the cladding?

   Same as the first one, but smaller, and less interesting shape. Get on with it!

Not sure about this - I hope it doesn't look like 'Legoland' round here when all the apartment buildings are up - isn't there going to be one like this but twice as tall???
