Better weather than had been forecast – windy but dry – enabling all the threshold drains around the Courtyard to be installed. The Garage doors need to have level thresholds so it’s essential for those to have drains to prevent water seeping under the roller shutters, but around the Courtyard there will be a step up to all the doors, of two brick courses, so the drains aren’t strictly necessary – but they could be raised if any of the doors need level access in the future.

A few other odd-jobs:

• Repairing the broken drain pipe discovered yesterday
• Checking the heat pump outdoor unit that was delivered at 7pm yesterday
• Reviewing the work required to connect the water mains – and concluding the still-open excavations need a bit more hand-digging before proceeding
