This is our new combined Power and Heating Unit. Here we see it left out in the garden (at ground level) by the lower cellar entrance, awaiting its descent.
This was the intended location for the Unit to be placed. The only problem is that it lies 6m below ground level and thus its current position.
Thank God that the previous owner had a usable shaft with straps that facilitated our task considerably when it came to taking the 1.5 tonne monster of a machine down in to its new home. We had to take it down piece by piece to ensure safety and success in this case. We initially only took it down 3 metres to the first platform in the cellar before attempting to move it down to its final location.
So the next hurdle was a steel staircase a further 3 metres down the cellar, leading to the previously mentioned resting spot for the Power Unit. To move it down we created a makeshift ramp.
Inch by inch the device was slowly and carefully lowered.
And in the end we were left with two very relieved and satisfied workers!!
(The third one left with Swamiji to Kiel)
