Day 195 - More wine please!

It is all a bit turbo onsite at the moment. I have two electricians, three floor fitters, two kichen fitters, a plumber and for today, two ventilation system fitters as well. They are in the most part playing nice together but there have been a few spats about mess, mostly by the kitchen guys who are very meticulous and trying to keep everything neat and tidy whilst people make a right old mess around them!

The HRV system is being commissioned today. The system takes hot, stale air from the kitchen and bathrooms, extracts the heat and uses it to warm cold, fresh air from outside which it pumps into the living spaces. All being well it should recover 75% of the heat from the air it handles, cutting heating bills and keeping the house fresh. Plus without trickle vents in the windows, there should be no drafts or noise when its windy.

The electricians are motoring on fitting the power and control systems for the heat pump and underfloor heating which is due to be commissioned tomorrow. Fingers crossed that Matt the plumber can have it ready in time!

The kitchen is looking great, but we have broken oven (the door fell off), no stainless steel for the island, extractor fan or sink for the utility, plus the biggest disaster of all; the wine fridge is too small.

As you can imagine this is a complete show stopper bordering on the criminal, so hopefully the man from Moeben should be on site today to handle the crisis...
