And the beat goes on.

Panel Van.

Weather permitting, the first exterior panels are due to go up.
Of course it never rains or blows in Taranaki.

Blood from stone.

This week's update is brought to you by the letter S, for stone. From the
"local stone" to "pulling Picasso from a block of stone."
How did Picasso get encased in stone, I hear you ask.

Bunker down.

Less a case of seeing the wood for the trees than the interior spaces for
the structural reinforcing. I'd suggest it was following Christchurch's
lead in being a standby civil defence bunker, but there's already one
of those just up the road.

Take cover, Arizona.

As another council takes aim at one of its amenities, I consider envying
the council's wastewater treatment plants: they don't have to take this crap.

Potato/Tomato.

I say construction, you say "demolished for all intents and purposes."

Cost of entry.

I've written before about cost of entry when it comes to art galleries -
perceived or otherwise. Will be interesting to see if the KPIs
for the gallery remain linked to entry numbers. If so then the phrase 'own
goal' springs to mind. It's okay though, for we will always have kittens.

Old chestnut department.

As old chestnuts are revisited construction rapidly moves to the outer
edges of the final footprint.
