South East Cornwall Low Energy build

Coming along beautifully! How is Mrs Botus doing? If you have any spare spoil that you are looking to rehome, we are looking for some to raise our ground levels around the house....

She's is doing OK thank you - I have my assistant back, although not quite as able as before.

Once we have backfilled completely, we'll know better.

How is your's coming along?

I’m glad Mrs B is on the mend. Just LMK if or when you have any remaining spoil to get rid of. I’m also looking to the local quarry for material.

 

The scaffolding has just come down, so the outside looks quite naked at the moment! Inside is a shell, waiting for me to organize the various first fix installations.
 

There appears to be a real lack of ASHP installers locally, and not a great deal of MVHR installers either. It’s hard finding quotes, and those I have got are steeper than we’ve been expecting. Still, it’s great to have a weather tight house, and we can take the time we need to make it habitable. Next project is the rainwater management system which will be some storm water planters and a retention pond. Very excited about seeing that in action.

 

Latest "from the mound" picture. (could have been taken back in August, but I forgot 🙂

looking very nice, hopefully you will get some good progress in 2024.

Got bored and was down another Internet rabbit hole ending up on Google Earth and the timeline feature, and came up with another version of the timelapse. Match the pictures to the satellite imagery 🙂

  

 

   

 

  

 

Only two are in focus, they will be from the reconasence planes.

Might have to invest in a small drone to update the Chinese and Russians on a more regular basis 🙂
