The Poo-viewer

This week began with a flurry of action. There were four vehicles here by 08:30 and it was non-stop all day. The questions began before I was properly awake:

• Have you chosen the paving yet?
• The doors you chose for the big cupboard won't fit - can you choose something else?
• The Megaflo hot water boiler has been damaged in transit. It's only cosmetic, do you want to wait for a replacement or shall we go ahead with this one? (It's in the attic. I really don't care what it looks like.)
• Do you want the slabs bedded in mortar or concrete or in a dry mix? (I've no idea either.)
• Shall we fit the WC a bit further away from the side wall to give more 'legroom'?
• Where exactly do you want the shower head to come through the ceiling?

By the end of the day lots had been done. We have sills on the windows. The end wall of the full-height fitted wardrobe has appeared.

 The (slightly dented) boiler is up in the attic.

Pipes are appearing all over the place.

Sometime soon we will see the Megaflo plumbed in, with a temporary power supply connected to it. Then it will supply mains pressure hot water to the existing house, and the old hot water tank will be removed - our first tangible benefits from this extension.

Oh yes, I must tell you about the Poo-viewer.
The drains from the extension were connected to the existing sewer that runs from the house to the septic tank. The access chamber for the junction cannot be capped until we have the ground levels sorted out. That means that for the next few weeks 'anything' that is en-route from the house to the septic tank can be seen as it passes by.

We may be going 'out for lunch' most days this week...
