What a hottie!!

At long last we have hooked up our hot water solar system. The tank on the left is not a water heater, per se. It is a hot water storage tank, the heat exhanger (that black U shaped thingie on the outside of the tank) is a double walled pipe that takes heat from the loop running up to the roof and foists the heat off onto the water inside the tank......The loop coming off the roof brings in 180 degree water.....Needless to say, taking a long hot shower no longer feels quite so indulgent...We worked with Heliodyne in Richmond to procure all the parts, they were very easy to work with. http://www.heliodyne.com/

Electricity is done!

Our electrical service is done! (well, except for the all important punch list that will be knocked out on Monday) The Integrity Electic guys spent several days here this week. They said we have one of the most intense switching systems they have ever seen in a residential project.......I must confess that I'm still not sure what all 12 of the switches behind the front door actually do..... Pictured is Joe from Integrity Electric putting the finishing touches on our kitchen island. The counter top guys were here on Wed to measure the counters, they were fabricated today and will be installed next Wednesday....

It's finally done...

   We're excited to report that our house is finally, really, officially DONE!  The shower hardware in the third-floor bathroom was installed this past weekend.   Yes, we moved in back in June of 2006....Don't judge...
