Sorry for the formating problems which showed up on Internet Explorer! They have been fixed.
And another change in the format this month. I am adding a little background text for each picture, as the Housing Fair grows closer and closer to 'Show Time'.

The foundations for these houses were laid last autumn, and I wondered just when someone was going to start on the building, but they have shot up in no time at all, showing one of the benefits of prefabricated housing. |

Here is another view of the same from the path at the rear, just behind the school. |
|
Peab Seicon's 'twin towers' now have most of the balconies installed and glassed in, and I know for cetain that a couple of friends of mine have bought one of the flats. |
|
Here is a shot of how the seafront is developing in front of the flats. |
|
This is the first house on the right on Liito-oravankatu (Plot 4), and is made of lightweight thermal blocks - sort of 'Lego-style'. It has attracted a lot of local interest, as it is such an unusual method. |
|
This is a general shot a little further down the same road. |
|
The last house on the right has had its covers off for a few weeks now, and reminds me more of a Mediterranean style home. Two people have told me that this is their favourite. |
|
Here is another view of the same. |
|
May 25th, 2008, and Liito-oravankatu now really looks like a street with asphalt laid and more of the houses looking almost finished. |
|
The sweeping 'Promenade' in front of the flats. |
|
On Lammassaari, the western island, the children from the 3rd Grade of Steiner School have been building this sheep-pen and lambing hut. |
|
Here is the enclosure part of the same. |
|
The bridge to Lammassaari is completed and the temporary road around it removed. |
And here are three long shots of the progress.
