The Monday Action

Today was a pretty hectic day at the house.Probably the most action we have had on the house since we started.We had our contractor,the guys from Pro Gas and my brother there all working hard.The guys from Naus Plumbing and Heating stopped by at the end of the day and quickly checked out the hot water tank.The tank will be replaced later this week.

The siding also arrived and our new front door as well.They replaced the small window with the new bigger longer window,which looks really good.It really evens out the look of the front of the house.Also our new door is a little bit wider than the one we have now,so that should look great,when it is installed.

Since the Pro Gas guys were there,obviously that means they were working on installing the new furnace.It is really small compared to the old beast we had in there before.Next to go in will be the air exchanger and then the air conditioner.The air conditioner won't be put in until they have back filled the side of the house.When that will happen is a good question.

I guess we should take a look at the pictures,




As you can tell or maybe you can't I don't know,this would be the new furnace.Like I said this is a lot smaller than the old one we had.




This is another picture of the furnace. 



This is a picture of the hole they cut into the wall to vent the furnace into the new basement.You can see the vent there.



This is a dark scary place that many people would not venture into.Unfortunately the gas guys had to crawl into this hole to replace the duct work.My brother also had to venture into this dark place as well to do some electrical.Yikes...better them than me!


Here is our new front door.It looks great and will look even better once it is put where it belongs. 


So here is what the house looks like in it's current state.The new window on the left looks so much better than the smaller one that was there. I will post a before picture below.



This would be the before picture.



Here is a picture of our new guard dog.When we went over to take some pictures of the house, Scooby was sitting in the window keeping watch.We don't know who put him in the window, because he was sitting on the couch the last time we had seen him.

That wraps up the days events at the house.My brother and a friend of the family Mike are still(10:30pm) at the house getting the electrical ready for the inspection tomorrow.

Tomorrow should be another busy day,the guys from Pro Gas will be back and the electrical inspector will be there checking things out.

As for what will happen in terms of the house,I don't know other than the new door will probably be put in.The siding is there now,but I am not too sure when that will be going on.

So that is all for now!
