So Much Excitement

There was a lot of action going on at the house today. We got out there early and started laying the radiant tubing. We laid over 900 feet of tubing and hooked it all up to the manifold box. We also pressurized the system and crossed our fingers that this test would turn out better than the last one. This time it was much easier to pressurize the system because the contractor's had their generator and air compressor already running. When we left, the contractor's had made a lot of progress, so we felt really good about the morning.

We went back out to the house after Travis got off work. All we had to do was check the pressure to see if the system held and place the manifold box in the ground. The pressure held, so we were very excited. The framers got a lot done and had put in the floor joists on one side of the house. We walked out on the floor and we both immediately said that it felt so tall and the view was awesome! We walked down below and we both also decided that our house finally felt BIG. It was so fun to walk through each room and pretend where all of our furnishings would be. Then the mosquitos came out in full force, so we jumped in the truck and came home.

Tomorrow the concrete floors will be poured in the garage. We are not sure if the framers will be out there, but I think all the accomplishments today that if nothing else happens this weekend, I will still be satisfied.
