Day two and the roof is finished, wind and water tight! 🙌 Each panel is transported in one load on our custom made lorry with crane, allowing us to only do one journey to site, saving on fuel emissions and costs. #energyefficient #sustainablebuilding #kithouse #rhouse

Fantastic to see this project finally complete. Although seemingly small projects in themselves, they have a huge benefit to the fragile communities in the Highlands. We are so pleased to have been part of making this project happen.
