HVAC is Getting Closer

The chimney is ready for stone!  It's hard to see but the metal lath is covering the box too.  The sider dropped off some equipment, which seems promising. And the HVAC crew finished the upstairs ductwork and did some prep for the tankless hot water heaters in the garage.

HVAC Progress and More Dirt

They made a lot of progress on the ductwork upstairs today and they finished the dryer vents on Saturday.  And more dirt arrived!

HVAC Day 3 & Garage Doors

Friday HVAC work included return air progress, dryer vents, bath fan ducting, and connections in the crawlspace.

Ducting for our Bath Fans

 

We recently chose our garage doors.  Since we have sets of 3 windows all over the house, we chose this 3 panel/3 window style.  Hopefully that was the right call.  The openers mount on the wall, so nothing hanging overhead.  We'll give them a try!

 

 

HVAC Day 2 and Masonry Prep

More furnace progress and fans going in.  Lots of flexible ducting delivered.  And the stone mason set up his scaffolding so he can safely work on the chimney stone next week.

HVAC Day One

Most of the floor vents are cut in.  Some ceiling vents, return air ducts, and bath fans are in place.  They got a lot done today and they're tidy!  🙂

Windows Install Finished, Siding Started

They finished installing the windows and the glass panels on the sliding doors today.  

The siding contractor started wrapping the house with a moisture barrier and we finalized some siding details like exterior window trim.  He's going to stop by in-between other jobs to get small projects done on our place for now.  

I've never seen house wrap like this.  It's thick and feels like rubbery fabric...similar to a non-slip rug pad but more tightly woven.  The windows that he's finished wrapping are all nicely tucked in with overlapping defenses against water from the top down.  It looks great.

Windows Are Here

I'm going to let the windows speak for themselves.  But I will say I had no idea windows could be more than just windows, but these are.  

And the yard!  All that dirt is turning into something great. 🙂
