Hello Brad

And you thought I'd forgotten!

Brad wanted a mention, so hello Brad! Simon says put the kettle on ;)

What the papers say

We're in the Milton Keynes Citizen this week http://www.miltonkeynes.co.uk/news/business/caring_16_5m_1_2626303
From the looks of it this was placed by the very nice man at Clydesdale Bank.

Happy reading.

Walls

No not the ice cream, but real solid internal and external walls.

Apparently the bricks are a pig to lay, which might slow them down a little, but even with an extra week off they're still three weeks ahead of schedule so I'm not going to worry about that....

Residents enjoy a day at the Rugby

Milton Keynes Rugby Club opened its doors for its first formal event at its new clubhouse at the weekend, they invited PJ Care along as club sponsors and some of our resdients went down to watch a godo days rugby. Well on one pitch anyway (I was playing on the other...) Check the link and see if you can spot our Chair enjoying the atmosphere.. http://www.buckstv.co.uk/buckstv/sport/rugby/milton_keynes_rufc/moved_into_emerson_valley_at_last.html

FLOORED

The beam and block is all down in section A of the building and the insulation is nearly complete too, the excelent weather is still helping and they expect to start pouring the concrete base for the floor tomorrow!

Our sign has finally gone up, so now everyone can see how to get hold of us, there is also a notice board giving information about the site and PJ Care and Castleoak, so if you're passing stop and have a look.

Attenuation

Lovely aren't they? Part of the environmentally friendly approach to our buildings is this pile of vegetable crates (not the guys in the Hi-Vis) these actually make up the attenuation tank that will hold the surface and rainwater for other uses, this tank will flow into a pond designed to encourage wildlife and will hopefully dramatically reduce the amount of water flowing into the public sewers.

The crates are an incredible design, that enables us to put the tank in with minimal future maintenance and zero contamination. They are wrapped in waterproof lining and will hold thousands of gallons invisibly.
