Systems Going In

The utilities and systems of the house are now being installed. At this point, the house looks like a jumbled mess with pieces of ducting everywhere and pipes sticking out of walls and so forth. I guess that’s why they call it “rough in”. It certainly does look rough, but I know it will look more put together very soon. Currently, the rough in plumbing is complete, and the HVAC systems are being installed. Installation of the electrical system will follow right on the heels of the HVAC. We expect to be insulating by the end of next week.

HVAC In The Attic

Not much has changed on the exterior of the house in the past week or so. The only developments there are that the roofing company came back to finish their “dry in”. This involves placing a grid of firring strips over the tar paper on the roof to hold it in place for now. At a later time, the roofers will come back to the site and install the concrete tile roofing by nailing into those firring strips. In the meantime, the tarpaper will keep any water from penetrating into the interior of the house, should it rain.
