I spoke to soon

 

As hail showers and colder winds are upon us again its been a good opportunity to push on with a few inside jobs. although i took the opportunity over the Easter holidays to get on with a few jobs around the house.

The Garage and boiler foundations are near complete but still require the removal of the existing 15000 litre concrete water tank.

The New tank is being constructed higher up on the perimeter of the woodland with a 17000 litre capacity and will serve us much better in the dry months for our drinking water ( with an in line pre filter and UV unit) added on completion of the system.

A secondary rainwater harvesting tank to take the demand off the drinking water tank will be built under the patio at the front of the house . this will serve the toilets,automated garden watering and pond top ups in the dry spell.

Areas of garden have been made even with the spoil from the excavations and re turfed so none of the excavation spoil has gone off site thus reducing our carbon foot print.

A new play area for the kids has also gone in with a soft area and an Elevated play house set into the bank. a ladder will provide access and slide for a quick exit.

The picures show:- Concrete arriving on site. The new pond foot print with 4m rock waterfall . Fernando placing the concrete for the water tank.

More pictures will follow as areas get completed and picures of 2 exciting new house builds in Coniston.and Grange.

In the mean time take care and most of all Have Fun.
