Here is how the day on Saturday went....
Work. Work. More Work.
 |
Here is some of the duct work being done |
 |
This is some of the geothermal equipment |
Len had to get 10 holes drilled to connect the manifold inside to the pipes outside. A noisy job.
 |
Len found rebar is hard to drill through and had to do some hand work |
 |
The big hammer drill he rented |
 |
Hoses through the concrete |
Meanwhile, outside the Terra Therma drilling fellows, Greg and Steve, were doing all the connections in the trenches.
 |
6 ft under, the well goes down, then piped across to the house |
 |
It all ends up here |
 |
Down in the trenches |
Then we got serious about insulating the ceiling of the great room.
 |
Load ready to go up |
 |
From up it is a long way down |
 |
getting the load up is one thing.... |
 |
getting it in the rafters is another |
 |
One half done |
More hoisting and scary heights performances
 |
Len used rope to bring up the next level of scaffold and then put it together up above his head |
 |
We moved the scaffold over the stairwell, behind the fireplace to get the very center |
At this point, it is dark and Len is still mucking about with the scaffold. I am going to make dinner. Stay tuned..... Cath
Love a comercial hammer drill with diamond tipped bits - amazing to drill concrete like wood (almost).
ReplyDeleteI see you reached phase 2 of the lift - why is it so long? Looks like the bats are held in place by friction - is that true?
