Progress


There has been some progress on the house. We have purchased a fireplace which I am excited about. The tubs were delivered and are set in place (with a cardboard cover over them to keep them clean) We have been running all of the wiring for the electrical and of course speakers. I believe that most of the plumbing has been done. The picture below is of the ceiling in Bruce's closet it has so many wires and pipes running through it. The other is an updated version of the water storage tank with all of the pipes and filters that go along with it. There is a lot of plumbing that has gone into this house. There is a place for a water softener in the future if we want and also solar hook ups. I don't have any recent pictures of the outside. We have not done anything to the outside since it has snowed. I do not have any good pictures of the floors. When we get them all cleaned up and shiny I will take a good picture of them.

Boiler System and Hot Water Storage


The floors have been pretty stressful and are still not finished. But there has been a little bit of progress on the house. We now have a boiler system and a duel coil hot water storage tank with one coil for the boiler and one coil for future solar panels. Bruce and Lance had to drill vent holes in the walls for the boiler system and other things. It isn't hooked all of the way up yet but but we do have a gas line and we have passed the pressure test. I am not sure about everything that needs to happen before we actually have heat but it should be soon, at least by summer.

Floors Continue

This is how the dye looks after you spray it on the floor

The dye dried within minutes of spraying it on the floor. I hope everything turns out the way they want it to. They have spent a lot of hours working hard on the floors.


The garage is almost done in this picture. It has polished more and I believe finished.

Floors

We are grinding the floors down and then going to polish them.
It has been a lot of work and some long hours (and still a lot to go) but they look really cool so far.

Lance and Bruce have spent night and day working on these floors.

The Windows Are In

Lance and Bruce had a system figured out to get the extremely heavy windows in place.




We have finally installed all of the windows! It is so nice to be able to see out. We have some really amazing views.
