The great cold of 2012 seems to be coming to an end and with it comes more problems for La Giraudiere. With only 35 days until the 2012 program kicks off La Giraudiere as been hit by Le grand froid de l’année 2012 or rather the grand defrosting.
Temperatures have now been fore-casted to reach 16 degrees celsius today, amazing when you think we were facing – 18 degrees only 10 days ago. With this burst pipes, leaks and broken taps and burst pressure reducers have been the result.
Apartment two has a leak above the shower room so the ceiling will have to be removed and the leak repaired.
The supply pipe from the water meter to the apartment is burst and lies some 60 cm under the ground.
The washing machine room has several leaks from the pressure reducer, the washing machine tap and also a burst pipe inside the washing machine.
The old house has leaks from the exterior taps and the reducer inside the house.
Apartment 4 the newly completed in 2011 has leaks from the shower mixer, the stop cock and the supply pipe from down below.
Lots of work needed to be done pictures will follow. If you would like to see the weather for Brossac then here is the link to the page provided by La Giraudiere WEATHER IN BROSSAC
