Title: Danesmoor
Post by: Old Cruser on May 08, 2017, 07:57:52 PM
Has anyone been down Danesmoor near where the Bottom Pub used to be?

I've driven past today and the homes they are building are 'Red'?

Will they clad them? Not sure I like them left like that but as I was driving I couldn't get a proper look at what they were doing.

Here they are - they look weird as i was driving past the other day - is it a covering over Bricks /Breeze Blocks??

I'm guessing the red is some sort of thermal insulation which will be covered by brickwork. It's amazing how quickly these houses get built these days :)

You are probably right Scimitar but when driving past it's  a bit strange to catch sight of the houses.  (y)

Yes you were right scimitar - bricks are now half way up the house!!  (y)

Thought so - see lots on my travels - I'm not up to speed with building regulations but see these houses popping up all over the place and they all seem the same.

It looks like a internal timber frame building , sometimes made in a factory they put that up first then brick the out side up after.

Strange as well how they are now building inside -  out - at one time it was outside - in?
