2006 07 01 - Zinal Chalet
1st July 2006
We’ve been up to Zinal in the Val d’Anniviers in the Valais canton to see the progress on our chalet and meet the architect and electrician to review wiring and lighting. At 1670m it’s pretty pleasant weather compared to down here in Fribourg where it’s getting pretty hot.
And, it’s looking good ! The roof is on now and the balcony has been built. Progress has been great, looking back is already getting to be fun:
This is basically from May after the end of the ski season. Completion is set for the start of December or before the ski season starts. The next two major steps will be the wood facing on the exterior which starts on Monday and in a couple of weeks the holes for the geothermal heating will be drilled, this will be a pair of shafts of 70m each.
Part of the local tradition is that there’s a little celebration on topping out which is why the branch is attached to top of the house ! It’s also beginning to take shape inside as well, the top floor looks good now with the interior woodwork of the roof in place. Tags: Zinal, Val d’Anniviers, Valais
