Under building complete

Over the last week the weather has co operated with us and it has been mostly dry but with a cold wind still blowing through. This hasn't stopped the brickies from cracking on with the under building and now the house and garage substructures are built and the retaining wall to the west of the house will be done tomorrow

Retaing wall starting to take shape

Next week the drainage goes in, along with the rainwater harvesting tank & sewage tank, the under building  back filled and hopefully the floor slabs poured before the building contractor has a weeks holiday.

With most of the ground floor walls being SIPs and requiring load bearing under building we can really start to see the lay out of the ground floor stating to take shape.

I have lined the drillers up now to be on site 11th April to complete the drilling of the two bore holes for the ground source heat pump (GSHP) system. This is a week later than originally planned but was a float week in the schedule so no overall impact.

SIP panels are due to start going up on the 18th April which is great timing since we will be back in Aberdeen from the 16th for a couple of weeks after packing everything up here is Stavanger and before flying down to Copenhagen
