Back to work after a rainy week

After having been stopped the entire last week because of the persistent rain, today we had splendid weather and the excavator could finally start to work on the plot. One single day has been sufficient to put it almost entirely upside-down.

One of the things that we've changed during the development is the driveway to the house. We've extended it and now it comes straight from the neighbourhood to the area where the carport is going to be. What the arquitects hadn't seen on paper, we saw very clearly once we were on the ground, so we asked the builders to change it. This way we won't have the steep driveway which would have caused problems in winter because of snow and ice.

They've also started to prepare the yard in front of the house, covering the hole with soil. Once they've finished, Juantxo and Joseba will bring all the timber to start mounting the structure of the roof.

The rain water harvesting deposits have also been put in place. We've got two that take an overall of 13.000 litres that we will use for the toilets, the washing machine and the garden.
