Heating, Plumbing, Windows…and rain

The heating, air-conditioning, and plumbing folks all showed up and are hard at work fitting their systems into the “L” Shaped House this morning. In addition Scherer Brothers dropped off all of the windows and the roofing guys keep plugging away. The first photo shows a bunch of the heating and air-conditioning supplies stacked up in the dining room. They have cut most of the holes for heat registers and cold air returns and will start work in the main “chase” to the second floor adjacent the dining room wall soon (seen in the second photo below).

The third photo shows the bath tub we selected for the kids bathroom out in the yard next to a pretty big pile of PVC pipe that will be turned into plumbing drains and vents shortly.

Next is a photo that shows the new windows delivered this morning stacked in the living room. We decided to use  W00d-Ultrex series double hung windows from Integrity in almost all of the openings. A crew from Tappe Construction is scheduled to start installing windows tomorrow morning.

The last photo shows Gill Riehm installing the roof venting system at the first peak (of many) on the roof. There is rain predicted for this afternoon and all day tomorrow. Hopefully Gill and his crew will get a run of good weather later this week and be able to get the roof finished up soon.
