Following from last week's less than perfect first fix alarm installation, James works to remedy the situation. Unfortunately, the situation last week resulted in unnecessary holes in the house envelope; let's hope that there aren't too many more of those! Anyway, it is sorted now.
Ebi returns to the build and he's brought his assistant Charlie with him. Ebi has brought literally over a tonne of plasterboard along for the ride. It's a type that we can't get over here. Thankfully Ebi didn't have to emergency brake en route.
The mechanical heat recovery ventilation first fix was started. Here Adam and Josh are sorting out the ducting. The white unit in the corner is the main unit of the system. It will take the warm stale air of the house and extract the heat and then use that heat to warm up the fresh cold air. The air will also be filtered. Here are some of the flexible ducting pipes that are going to go into the upstairs rooms through the flooring. Unfortunately, some of the predrilled holes need to be adjusted so Ebi will sort these out and the first fix ventilation should be finished on thursday.Ebi and Charlie did lots of small jobs around the house and even found time to plasterboard one of the bedrooms!
Meanwhile, Joss is installing the rain water harvesting tank control panel. He got a chance to play around with a blow torch. He looks like he's having fun.
Another day on the build finishes, the garden is getting wilder, in contrast to the neat house. Tomorrow, the electricians will be back to carry on with the first fix electrics. It is good to have Ebi on site again, not least because he can fill in the gaps between trades and can tell the tradesmen what can and can't be done and Charlie has even taken out a broken key that's been stuck inside a lock for nearly a week! In addition, we have a very tidy house now that Ebi and Charlie have swept it all! Thank you!
