Just outside Colindale station, to the right, there is a new building
being erected lol.

It seems to be being constructed entirely from Containers sellotaped
together. I mean those sea containers.

Has anyone seen it. Is this normal construction? And how can it take so long?

Quite common now - I've seen home units made out of containers on
Trinity Buoy Wharf near East India and of course there's the Boxpark
shops at Shoreditch. They make quick shop and living spaces.
