Floor Ripper

Today was the last day of digging. When we pulled up the floor we were surprised to find a large amount of the floor was, well dirt. It was an obvious decision pour a cement floor. To provide enough room to run the heating under the floors once the cement was poured, ~6" of dirt had to be cleared out. The guys tore the old octagon window out (we weren't planning on keeping it) and opened up a large section of wall to wheel the dirt out. Next step - cement!

Play Day!

Today we took some time off from the chaos of the house and everything else going on and set sail on the mighty open water. Our goal was to find the house by water which we did. It was pretty easy - all we had to do was look for the large yellow building on shore. It ended up being a perfect day.

New Furnance!

Well due to a crash of my laptop and a long restoration process I have missed a few days of progress (I will go back and update at a later date.) Anyway, the house has been torn apart -- literally! and now we are slowly beginning to put things back together (well a little)

The first of the 2 furnaces was set in place today. Per my request, the intake and exhaust were plumbed in and set through the wall to the garage and then through the exterior wall (nice job guys!.) The furnaces are 92.8% efficient so we are hoping for great things from them (translation - low heating bills!)

We are going to be running propane for now, until the gas company HOPEFULLY runs gas lines in front of our property. (seriously, the line stops about 800' from us) :( The systems are outfitted with cooling coils, but presently we are holding off on compressors.

Tomorrow the duct work is supposed to get started, on the back system, I will shoot more and post when time permits.
