HVAC in Progress!

-

HVAC guy has been working on installing our heating/cooling units!!! Yay! We’ll have heat in there soon!!! Can’t wait! And central air come summer! 

Photo from our game camera out front: 

We opted to go with Fujitsu mini split units that are powered by electricity. They’re super efficient so they won’t hit the electrical bill too badly! We’ll have smaller units in each of the 3 bedrooms and one large one for the large area (kitchen, living room, hallways). They have tubing instead of duct work that goes to a unit outside. Latest technology! I’m not sure exactly which Fujitsu model but it will be something like this. The fan unit goes outside and connects to the units inside. Zoned heating and cooling since each unit can be controlled individually! 

Here’s the HVAC guy! He was there today and last Friday. 

Down in the basement we will have a liquid propane monitor heater. Our plumber is managing this, along with installation of all of the gas lines, as well as the plumbing for water and drainage. We are going to have a gas line to this monitor heater, another one to the stand by generator, another line for the gas stove and one more gas line for the gas clothes dryer. Our plumber is a busy guy for this job! And he is awesome too! 

The propane monitor heater is a great back up, such as during extended power outages. We can turn down the heat on the electric units upstairs to relieve strain on the generator. The monitor heater in the basement will keep the basement toasty warm and is capable of heating most of the house too! It will do a good job keeping the first floor of the house warm but it may or may not be able to reach the second floor entirely, but likely will be able to keep it above 60 degrees if we are relying on it for any reason. Heat rises so I bet it will work great if needed for back up! Our basement is open on the side facing the mountains and about half way along each side. Sing the basement is not entirely under ground it likely will need a little heat to keep it warm enough:

Catching Up: Wildlife

We have a couple of game cameras down at the bottom of the field. We totally enjoyed the wildlife that these cameras captured!  This cutie has been around since the fall after we cleared the field out back and got the grass growing! We call her Nibbles, as she loves nibbling on the grass!  I can always tell it’s Nibbles when I see the dark spot on her inner right rear leg!  We had so many deer during the winter rut season!  Meet Gaylord Faulker! The coolest buck around! After he shed his large antler at the end of the rut, Hubby found it! So cool! When you find sheds in the woods you don’t know the deer they came from. First time we actually know the deer that it came from! How cool is that.  Here’s his antler! If we could find his short antler, the package would be complete! Once the snow melts, I’ll be out there searching for it! It’s a tough one to find, though!  This was when he shed his large antler! The before and after photos!  Another before an...

My son and his family went by our house in New Hampshire and we FaceTimed so we could see the house!  We weren’t able to get up to New Hampshire this weekend as we have been busy packing here to prepare for our move. My daughter-in-law also took some photos and a video and sent them to us. Here they are!  The glass doors have been installed in the bathroom shower units! Here’s the upstairs bathroom!  Here’s the downstairs bathroom!  They made a little more progress with the great room ceiling! They have to cut and treat the boards before they hang them. I believe this past week our contractor focused more on board prep. Once dry after treating them, installing them will be pretty quick!  Looks like the ceiling in the larger of the two downstairs bedrooms is done! I think this completes this bedroom as far as hanging tongue and groove pine wallboards! They will eventually add trim at the joints and around the window and will hang the closet and entry doors! ...

Weekend Visit!

I went up to New Hampshire this weekend and took multiple photos! Great progress is being made with the house so it is ready for us to move into early June! In about one month we will be moving in! I just can’t believe it! It’s just too good to be true! Our dream of a log cabin is coming true! Having a mountain view, property on a mountain river and 12.55 acres is also a dream! But the best dream come true is living 1.5 miles up the road from my son, daughter-in-law, grandson and granddaughter! I will believe it on move in day! LOL! Oh, and another thing is that I get to keep my dream job too! While living here in eastern Connecticut, I have worked from home for a company in Rhode Island since August 2016, and I love my job! It was just approved on Thursday morning! Another dream is coming true! I know God has been helping me throughout all of this!  OK, time for photos!  This is my weathervane at my home in Connecticut:  As of yesterday afternoon, it is now behind my hom...
