After much anticipation the drilling rig has arrived on site to start work on the ground source heat pumps. Progress has not been easy so far the drilling rig has been delayed, in need of repair, missing parts and now appears to have found the 'wrong kind of rock' and this is only day three, lets hope it gets better from here. We also have scaffolders, roofers and dry stone wallers on site this week and suddenly it feels very much like a building site, theres mixed feelings about that but mainly pleased things are progressing, just keep off the grass!

First two boreholes reached just over 50m so they have been repositioned slightly closer together and additional borehole has been added to compensate. The last two boreholes have reached just over the 75m they were aiming for so at the moment we are hoping there will be 8 boreholes in total, we are currently still on number 5.
