Today was rough-in inspection day. We had a lot of activity, but I didn’t get many pictures running back and forth between the garage and geothermal contractors.\u00a0 Jonas and his sons stopped in to measure for liner panels and ceilings in the lift and storage bays.\u00a0 Eric the plumber finished up his work in the garage and basement. Terry was here for the inspection, as well as help Eric.\u00a0 The geothermal work has a trench across the driveway so everyone had to park below that.\u00a0 The inspection went well, with no issues on anything except the insulation around the furnace.\u00a0\u00a0 We now have water at the garage and can energize the electrical panel!<\/p>\n
The geothermal heating system required 3 – 250 ft deep wells and a 5 ft deep trench to connect the wells and the house.\u00a0 That goes right across the driveway.\u00a0 Excavating there was as bad as for the garage… all shale and some big rocks.\u00a0 We found (and mangled) the power feed to the old garage, so that will require some splice kits.\u00a0 We also found the power feed to the laundry room and family room, but fortunately didn’t cut that!\u00a0 Tomorrow should see the piping go into the trench and the trench back-filled.\u00a0 If that happens we will start insulating the garage on Friday!<\/p>\n
