Reservoirs So Great ... Juggling Home Riveting!

Unused reservoir looks like a drum made of concrete. Reservoirs that have not been used for five years, when the couple bought it from South West Water in 2008. Water company has sold permits to build a 300,000 pound sterlling opening price.
Many people have mocked the steps taken by the couple. However, Robert would say, that the difficulties of running a project that attracts attention.
"I have spent years to build a house, and it was very boring," he said.
"This project has many interesting aspects. How do you deal with the height issue? What about lighting? How to open a shape of a drum? It's really exciting," he added.
At the time of "checking" the former location of the reservoir, the Hardy family has been selling "barn" near Helston, Cornwall $ 300,000 sterlling pounds. They then lived in a caravan in a quiet area of ​​Sidmouth.
The couple get a little profit by selling their Cornish home. In 2000, they bought the house for 100,000 pounds and spent 150,000 pounds sterlling sterlling for the renovation process.
"We're not doing this project as an investor to focus on profitability., But we think, financially it makes sense," said Hardy.
"The market in the southwestern and Sidmouth growing into the main area. Region is known as the second home area," he added.
However, the moment when the couple is ready to move, their dream shaken by the financial crisis of 2008. With a bank loan, the couple had to haggle every penny so that in the end they get 800,000 pounds sterlling. This amount is needed to finance the renovation of the former dam.
In addition to financial problems, the building itself is facing security problems. Work on the building began in March 2008. Peat removed from the dome. It had to be done one at a time by hand.
Robert Hardy doubt the power dome, if the peat is removed by using a digger. Furthermore, welders must go down to the bottom of reservoirs and dealing with concrete drum. They only provided illumination of the lamp 110 volt power. The task they set the house of the steel frame.
One more hurdle for them, the smoke generated in this reservoir. They can only work for three hours at a time.
However, even at the face of these obstacles, for Mrs Hardy, it's so mean to her. Because of that, he is always seen with optimism.
After three years, artificial turf finally mounted on the roof of this unique home. Peat makes it "blend" with the surrounding countryside.
Unfortunately, this visionary couples can not enjoy the work that is now called "The Reservoir" that they want. In June last year, Robert Hardy fell off a ladder at work and was rushed to the hospital due to subdural hematoma or blood clot between the skull and brain.
Furthermore, doctors told Robert cut his workload for the next three years, so the couple has decided to downsize and live off the profits to recover fully. Now, the former reservoir sterlling appreciated 1.25 million pounds or more than Rp 18 billion
