The majority of the work is now concentrating on the inside of the house, so nothing much happening on the outside. A number of important deliveries were made: the septic tank, the oil tank and the Megaflo system. Also, the decorator started painting the filled plasterboards.
The septic tank arrived. A massive object, approximately 3 meters high and a capacity of 3.800 liters. The tank needs to be de-sludged every two to three years from solid waste. The liquid waste will eventually fill the tank completely and will then disperse through the soak away system, a system of special purpose pipes.
The oil tank is considerably smaller than the septic tank, with a capacity of about 1300 liters. The oil tank will hold the fuel for the boiler which in turn heats the water for the underfloor heating system and the hot water facility of the house, like showers and taps.
The Megaflo tank is a hot water container and supplies the property with near-instant hot water.
The final pictures show the hallway before and after a first coat of paint. All walls and ceilings will be painted white as a first coat. Walls will then be painted a second time using antique white, an off-white color.
