I had a meeting on site this morning with the sub-contractors who'll be responsible for the heating system and plumbing, including the air-source heat pump, solar thermal panels and underfloor heating. One thing we need to do is agree on the best location for the solar panels, but it's hard to tell until the second floor is built and we can assess the overhanging trees.
The builders have made good progress this week despite the wet weather. The roof level steelwork is in position and the joists have started going on. This means that the proportions of the first floor rooms are becoming clear. The main living space looks huge, but it does include the living room, kitchen and dining area, so it probably needs to be.
The next and final lift of scaffolding is due tomorrow which means we must be getting close to topping out! It's all getting very exciting :-)
