Greg Reinhardt and his son Devon started the HVAC on March 11th. Kind of a boring subject for photos, but here are some. The thing I was most impressed with was how complicated it was to find a route for all the venting that was needed. I had in my mind it was just the heating and cold air returns. But NO - I hadn't taken into consideration the vents for 4 bathrooms, plus shower in sauna area, plus two water closets, plus 2 dryer vents, plus 2 kitchen hoods, plus 2 gas fireplaces, plus makeup air for overall ventilation, plus a vent for the gas hot water heater, plus the intake and exhaust for the furnace. Altogether I have 18 holes in my walls!
I think that if one winter day, I turned on all the fans in the house, bathrooms, dryers and kitcen hoods, the house would look like a mighty steam engine, with hot air coming out from every wall. Don't think I'll try it though!
