We're In Hot Water Now!

Today was a good day. The weather was perfect...cool and sunny. "Concrete" Mike sent a crew of three to load the foundation wall frames and haul them off. "Our" Mike said "Bobcat" Tom will be here on Monday to begin back filling the trenches. We now have a better view of the layout of the buildings. Once the back filling is complete, we will really be able to envision it! Mark (inside plumbing) stopped by and said he was expecting to run utilities out to the garage next week. We have a good chance of really nice weather for the next week to 10 days. Hopefully, we'll take advantage of it.

Vern's boys finished the new incoming domestic water line. They will  be back probably Monday to remove the steel cover plates in the street. The City is responsible for application of new asphalt.

John and Tim finished the new on-demand domestic hot water heater installation. T has already tested it, filling the tub for a delightful soak. It seemed to work well.

Frank joined John and Tim for awhile today and we talked about the new boiler, to be installed next. Frank gave me a piping drawing and a sketch of the floor plumbing for the radiant floor heating. There will be three zones and will include heating of the connecting porch between the house and the sunroom. The floor loops are on 8" centers and will be embedded in the concrete floor slab.
