This is the view from the corner of the front garden, the guy emerging from the earth is just some guy working on the grounds.
Far left you'll see the green oil tank that's just gone in. This fuels the boiler around the back which we can see in the next picture -
The silver box to the left of the downpipe and under the utility room window is the Cosyman 90/120 oil boiler manufactured by Gerkros providing central heating. Remember there is no mains supplied gas in Ireland so fuel needs to come from some other source and in 90% of the homes in Ireland that source is Kerosene.
Any strange round holes near windows are the vent holes for extractor fans in bathrooms and the extractor fan in the kitchen.
These pictures were taken last Wednesday when I was in talking to the plumbers. Surprisingly, even though I'd only just put the deposit down on the bathroom stuff, they were already installing the sinks, WC's and shower trays.
Internally it's all been plastered now by the looks of it. We're still waiting for the floors to dry out before we put in the kitchen but now that the boiler and oil tank are all hooked up they reckon on getting the heating fired up this week. Obviously that should speed up the drying out process.
After that we can get the kitchen in followed by the rest of the bathrooms.
There's still no stairs in either which makes getting around inside a little tricky which is why there are no real internal shots yet. I'll do my best the next time I'm out there, promise
Bye for now...
