Any updated photo's? Or I assume nothing more to show?

A bit of scaffolding removed and a few extra layers of paint, but nothing really new.

It's starting to look like a decent building now.

Yes, but I still don't have a clue what it is yet. Those glass walled rooms are very small. I'm actually wondering, if it is a museum, whether they are no more than large display cabinets, and people will just wander around outside the exhibits, which will be inside.

Parking is already limited there, and if it is a public attraction, it will become a nightmare if buses start turning up.

I do my best - nobody has solved it yet, so it's a worthy challenge.

Now if you’d have set a reward for solving the mystery, I’m sure someone would have found the answer?

Yep - my apologies, should have used that simple word of "Please" :oops:

I'm still lost on what this building may be - some earlier comments re: "Royalty", a "Museum" or even an "Eatery"... The latter of course should provide some Toilet Facilities and there is no sign of drainage. That said, surely ANY building should provide afore mentioned facilities?

Not wanting to change the subject, but there must be some regulations regarding "Facilities" and the disposal of "matter"? Or am I just being completely naive?

There were several people under the building in the water today. Maybe they are starting to do something retrospectively. Albeit, there doesn't seem to be any toilet facilities above where they were.

Maybe that is why they are in the water?

This morning's trip to the lake showed a temporary launching and retrieval dock has been put in place in readiness for this weekend's dragon boat racing.

Full marks to the Tessebahn for that after all of these years. It should make life a lot easier.

As for the carbuncle, not much change. It looks as though they are getting ready to lay floor tiles, but still no clues as to what it is yet.
