Yellow building on the top left is the

completed production toilets.

 

Sections of tower crane's mast prepared for erection.

 

The 6000kg topmost section of the tower crane sitting lonesome and

unmajestically on the ground.  

For reasons unknown, it is called the Cat Head.  

It wouldn't be long before it will be one of the

the highest points in the estate once it is elevated to the 

height of 45m.

The "Inspectors" going to check out the apartments.  

At 50m2 each, it is a decent size for 1 or 2 persons.

Final design after strict specification and 

approval by Melvyn!
