In preparation for putting the floor panels into position, we cleared up the ground that will remain under the house. We know that we will end up crawling under the houses in the future, so a bit of extra work now when it is easy and possible, will save a lot of sore backs and knees in the future.
While the soil was still loose from the excavation for the district heating and water pipes, we hand dug the trench for the electrical and communication services.
These services will only go to the inside of the front wall of the houses.
Apart from the one beam that goes under the octagon, all of the supports for the floor are in place.
THe 13 panels that will make up the back half of the house - assembled upside down.
The first 5 sections in place, tied into the beam at the back of the houses, and cantilevered over the cellar wall. other panels will extend from the front of the houses to meet in the middle.
The space under the floor is quite amazing, and very unique in Ireland.
