Building a solar House in France - plastering, stone wall, septic tank and sand filter - Building a solar House in France - plastering, stone wall, septic tank and sand filter

Comment:

Pipework to "fosse" bedded on a bit of concrete here and there, and covered with sand. Luckily no trenches were needed and it was all covered with topsoil to a depth sufficient to protect it.

The projecting end of the stone wall forms a plinth on which the main living floor of the house sits, and will screen a little terrace outside the guest bedroom..

Rain continued, and the masons were not happy.

By Friday afternoon the site around the house looked like a battlefield.

The ventilation of the fosse as required by Mme Berthome.

The guest bedroom was plastered on Friday afternoon,

On Saturday morning Margaret came to inspect progress.
