New Tanks

leave a comment

They have started plumbing in the boiler room/ new boiler. Two enormous water tanks to hold all the heat from the boiler. I didn’t realise it was going to be so crowded in there, barely enough room to get them all in.
boiler room plus tanks.
Cecilia says they look like darleks! They think they should be ready to fire it up next week!

We had a great day at the show, best weather for months. Plus the Woolclip won best stall at the show.

With a little help from my Brother-in-law

one comment

Arfon came up to help on the barn this weekend. We got loads done; finished off the plumbing linking the new hot water pipes into the old system (with a valve so it doesn’t flood the barn), and put up the stud walls for one of the bedrooms.

And just after Arfon left the boiler man rang to say he is coming tomorrow to start installing the solar hot water cylinder and the boiler.
