Work in progress


Yes! We have heating in the house. The installation of our new boiler started on Monday and today we switched the system on and finally it's nice and cozy when you come into the house. The nice weather of the past couple of days also contributed to that, but now the chill is definitely out of the air inside. Yesterday we filled the system with water to let it stay overnight and see if it would keep the pressure. If it would not keep the pressure that would mean that there was a leak in the system. So it was a very nervous Anita who came to the house this morning to hear the verdict. Everything OK! In the picture you can see our new beauty of the basement. While the installers were working underground, the demolition of the annex plus brick up of the open spaces on the ground floor went on. Our kitchen is now officially closed off with a brick wall. For the time being a piece of ply wood is functioning as a door, which can only be opened by an electric screw driver, but soon a real door will be placed, allowing light to come in from the back. On Friday they will start with the other underground job: floor jacking. We will keep you posted.
