If you cannot tell what this is... It's the beginning of a heat register vent!!! The guys worked their butts off today. The actual furnace unit is in, with the immediate hot and cold ductwork. I learned what a plenum is, and how to put them together (all ten of them). They are the giant metal tubes that run along the basement ceiling... I also got to wrap the furnace seams with the special tape. Ooh.
Tomorrow will be another full day. More ductwork, more hook-ups, and more stuff I know nothing about, like chimney liners, cold air returns, and water heater connections. Not to mention, they still have to run heat up into the second floor. Can't wait to see how they accomplish that.
Well, we did get one big obstacle out of the way, or should I say about fifteen heavy obstacles. These are all of the radiators that were in the house. A big thank you to Nick, who carried all of these monsters out to the garage. He actually lifted the smaller ones on his own, and somehow, manhandled the rest. He also got rid of the old hot water heater and the boiler tank from the basement.. Whew.
He's a good man to have around. He is also the one who has volunteered to scale the roof and drop the chimney liner. Gotta love him...
