August 23rd - first fixes

Today sees the completion of another two weeks of continuous work on the site. That is seven weeks so far.
Significant work has been made on the roofs (rooves?) but a couple of days heavy rain has prevented the completion of the flat roof which, in turn, has held up work on getting the slates on the main pitched roof areas. Three of the pitches drain on to the flat roof so it has to be finished before they start putting on the roof tiles.

The roof-lights are in the flat roof and that completes the building's fenestration.

A good portion of the electrical fist-fix is done and the heating and hot & cold water first fix is also done.
The heat pump location is by the back wall of the garage. The "Aquapump" is located in the garage. This requires a couple of buried insulated pipes bringing the hot and the cold water into the house. They has completed the work and filled in the trench before I got a chance to photograph it. 




This array of pipes, mostly for the underfloor heating, will be hidden under the flooring on the ground floor. The area in the photograph will be the coat cupboard near the staircase.

Today - Friday, August 21st promises to be dry and so fingers crossed that the flat roof guys get over and finish the job.
