Yesterday marked a further small milestone! Both EDF & SDEI (Water) initially refused to allow us to put the services on to the land ourselves. They provided huge quotes to do the work as it involved both digging their own trenches, and in fairness we have to run the pipes over 100 Metres to the lower plot.



Thijs has managed to persuade them both to allow us to do the work ourselves, or rather for him to do the work at a much lower figure. Not sure what was down there but its was clearly fascinating!


The blue pipes are water and the red and green Electricity.The thicker red pipe
is a 'Three phase' necessary to power our heating/ air con and drainage pump!



Seeing the amount of cabling and equipment involved makes me realise what a huge project it is and why it all cost so much! The Sb floor foundation to the Gites is almost ready for the floor joist to be received.
