Dan’s been with Halminen Homes for 11 and a half years but this is certainly the first time he’s ever attempted something like this. He’s also been on-site since Monday, so he’s seen the Build progress from day one.

New slideshow up on the blog, some great photos taken on day two of the Build.

Was this only two days ago? Judging by the speed with which they built this home, you’d think these photos of drywallers and bricklayers would have been taken months ago.

Out at the site having fun with the crew from Breakfast Television. Everybody's in great form and the house is looking amazing!
