The weekend before christmas I got to work on the house a bit! Suzanne watched the girls on Sunday and we got some wires run – fan boxes installed in 2 of the 3 bedrooms (and hooked up to switches!). The benefit right now is that we finally have light in those rooms (previously no …
This weekend Ryan and his cousin got the new heat pump installed on the outside of the house. Ryan’s cousin is making great progress on the duct work in the attic as well and once we get the coolant lines run to the two units (attic and basement) we’ll get some heat going in the …
