An Orange Lighthouse Arrives

The road from Noyal Muzillac to Limerzel and Questembert runs along the far side of Dominique's field where the milking herd are currently installed. It's about 500m from our house and so, normally, we don't see or hear any traffic unless it's big or very loud. Last week an orange lighthouse drove slowly along the road, it then turned left at the crossroads and came back into sight passing Dominique's elevage and stopped at our entrance gate. It was the underfloor insulation I'd ordered from Leroy-Merlin the week before, each board is 1.25 by 0.6 metres and there were 180 of them. the orange was the wrapping each pack of five came in and the lighthouse effect was caused by the way the driver had needed to load them high on his truck with lots of straps and ties.

 

It's the fourth time we've had a lorry delivery from L-M so I'm getting to know the driver a bit. Normally he's friendly and wants to know how the work is going, this time he was a bit cold and wouldn't put everything where I wanted it (he said he couldn't but he managed OK the last time). I think he hadn't enjoyed the slow 30km trip hoping  our orange lighthouse would stay on the truck .....

Barbara and I have now fitted 159 of the panels (I did a stock-take this afternoon ....) and need to finish the last few tomorrow so the underfloor heating can be laid and tested before the floor screed arrives on Thursday.
