Holes

September has arrived and work has restarted. The VMC has been installed. VMC, Ventilation Mécanique Contrôlée, has been all started up.
The kitchen one has a booster switch, the loo one, like the bathroom downstairs revs up when someone is detected. All go to a heat exchanger in the roof so that in the winter we don't lose heat when humid air is being cleared.  So far we have been extraordinarily well served by the hot water from the roof, but the small gas boiler that serves as backup will get its gas supply next week.
We had a very good site meeting this morning, The landscaping will take place in a couple of weeks; by landscaping I mean levelling out the ground and putting in the drive. 
We will also be putting in a 4000l tank for surface water recuperation which will take place at the same time.

The most important thing is that at last we will have a front entrance. These holes are to secure the bottom of the custom-designed front stairs. As the ground is clay they have gone down to bedrock to ensure security.
