The tower is ready, but there's action to be
taken about the carpark.. |

Utrecht, looking east. |

The roof is ready! Jeroen and Marrit posing in
the usual spot.. |
With the roof added, the tower immediately looks
like the real thing. |
Nearly ready now. |
Compare to March 1st. |

Fectio at the tower, in the distance our shields.
We came to make pictures for a book. |
Below are Andreas and Jeroen. There's work being
done on the roof. |
|
The tower can now clearly be seen from afar -
this is from the Achterdijk. |

Now 8 metres high, the tower begins to look like
the real thing. |
Compared to the picture below, the tower has
grown a lot in just two days! |
My kids are awed... |
Sturdy Dutch larch. |
| February 28,
2004: |
The prefab wooden beams are laid in place. |
It is already clear that the tower will have a
wide view of the surroundings. |
Already 5 metres tall, of the final 10.5. |
Work goes on even in the weekend.. |

| December 30,
2003: |
Just before The New Year; trees have been cut,
concrete has been laid. |
The tower will overlook a wide open space. |
The former Roman castellum rests under the field
and the trees behind the grass. |
Ready to build. |
