In Floor Heat

Well it has been a month since we last posted. Progress has been really slow, but all the rough-ins are complete. This means that all the plumbing water supplies and drains, heating ducts and the wiring for lights and outlets are done. Yesterday Rob and his friend Bob put some sweat equity in the house and strung all the low voltage wiring. This includes network, speakers, alarm and TV/Cable/Satellite wires. The built in vacuum outlets are also all in place.

The pictures that we have posted today show some extras that we are putting in to the house. The first picture shows two headers. The one on the left is for the supply lines for the hot and cold water. There will be a pump on there as well that will circulate the hot water, so it won't take so long for the hot water to come out of the tap. The second header on the right also goes with second picture. It is acually a picture of the ceiling in the kitchen which is right underneath the ensuite bathroom. You can see white tubes running right beside the floor joists. There will be hot water running through those tubes so the that floor in our bathroom will be nice and toasty warm.

We are waiting for the shingles to be put on the roof. The weather has not been co-operating, but the forecast for this week looks much better. Hopefully, we will be posting again much sooner than a month.
