The electrics are almost complete for first fix and the electricians did a superb job of cleaning up when they were done. What stars!
The Heat Recovery Ventilation (HRV) system was installed today. This is the clever bit of kit that takes warm, stale air from the bathrooms and kitchen, extracts the heat into fresh air from the roof which it then pumps into the living spaces.
This removes the need for trickle vents in the windows and will keep the house fresh, warm and very thermally efficient.
I have also taken delivery of most of the bathroom fittings including the toilets and showers. The remaining items will be coming along shortly.
The second fix carpentry items also arrived today, including all the internal doors, door linings and skirting board, plus another back and front door just for good measure! The lorry driver waited for me for 2 hours as he said he couldn't lift the doors on his own. Much humble pie was eaten when he then watched me offload and carry singlehanded all 12 in one-by-one.
That's my workout for the week!
I'll post some pictures of the joinery items later in the week.
