It never normally happens. Today I made two phone calls: one to Western Power Distribution to ask for the electricity cables to be sheathed near the roof so when we start work on it everything would be ready and another to EarthSave Products to order the 'Ecocent Unit' (hot water tank with it's own built in air-source heat pump). The hot water tank arrived just after lunch and the a very helpful and informative guy from Western Power turned up around 4pm. Two phone calls and two things actioned the same day. Probably have unbelievable hassle with the next two things to suss.
Had a couple of days in Dartmoor last week- did a run from Shipley Bridge to find the track East of Avon Dam and then up to Puper's Hill. From here across to Red Lake clay works and then back via the bridleway. Objective was to suss potential bike route. Very dry up there and beautifully sunny with cold easterly wind.
Also did the classic Princetown bike ride via Burrator reservoir.Stayed at 'The Plume' campsite (well - I say camping, we of course kept toasty in the van).
Back at home, got the sink unit finished (just need a miror and shaver light)...
and got the shower enclosure finished and fitted electric towel radiator.
Happy as a pig in..... Yes she is. Finally it's warm enough to get some blocks up for the workshop and garage. We need to get this done now as we've got to find space for all the tools and materials that currently reside in the other half of the property to be renovated. First job is roof off - and potentially all the things in that half could get drenched if we get a summer like last year.
Keeping warm in the lounge - really must get the carpets fitted soon.
