The last 1km of ground loops were installed today for the ground source heat pump.  We thought we might have run out of space, but much to our surprise, it all fitted with a little bit of space to spare.  Phew. This was some welcome good news as we thought we might need to dig up even more land. 

Tomorrow, we can start filling it all back in!

All of the remaining 1000m of pipe have been installed today. We thought there might not have been enough room, but it all fitted in with a bit to spare.

The stones and bricks are just used to weigh the pipes down while being installed. The stones will be removed before being covered with sand.
