We're still waiting to get our 3-phase meter installed and until that happens nothing much else is going to, although the trenches for the pipework connecting the boreholes to the house are supposed to be dug next week and, for reasons best known to themselves, Ecoliving kept trying to deliver our heat-pump this week.
As mentioned previously, we had an issue with our oil running out and the in-laws turning up. Eventually I phoned Bilslands the oil people, who said that their smallest conventional delivery was 500 litres, although they could deliver less but would have to charge more per litre. However, they also said that they could remove our old oil tank when we no longer need it and any oil they can recover from it, we will be reimbursed for. On this basis and with the threat of cold in-laws hanging over us, we succumbed and bought 500 litres. The other factor of course is that, while I would much rather not be spending it, in the grand scheme of things, an extra £250 isn't really going to make a huge amount of difference.
And it's quite fun having a warm house.
