Just back from a busy 4 days onsite. Over the weekend Tor & Bill worked away on the rain water harvesting (RWH) system, MVHR system and UFH system on Saturday & Sunday.
This included wiring up the submersible pump in the RWH tank that will supply water to the toilets and the pump controller along with a bit of dangling upside down in the top of the tank as well to hook up the pump.

On the MVHR system the remote control panel was wired in, the final valves installed, connections made to the unit and insulation installed on the exhaust and intake ducts.
For the UFH system two of the control centres were wired up and actuators installed on all four manifolds.

On Monday the MVHR system was commissioned with the flow rates to the various rooms being set and correct function of the booster switches and remote panel confirmed. While this was on going I worked on some of the plumbing in the master en-suite. The other big thing on Monday was the delivery of the oak flooring for the house. We rented in a forklift to offload the pallets from the lorry but it all had to be carried inside by hand. This took me all afternoon to do - well it was 690 boards ( or 4.5 MT/ 10,000 lbs) after all!. Before leaving that day I also leveled various floor areas in preparation for laying the floor. Phew, no wonder I was knackered that night!
Tuesday was only a bit quieter, but no much. early in the morning the granite counter tops arrived as did the electricians. After getting the sparkies started I helped move the large island granite top into place and checked on the installation in general. The granite tops look as good as we expected and the whole colour scheme work well.

After the counter tops were in I spent a couple of hours sorting out the fittings for the electricians and then got back to the master en-suite plumbing again. Still a bit more of this to do but I think I have broken the back of it now
