Heating Ventilation And Cooling (HVAC)

Work on the HVAC system has begun. They started upstairs and are working their way down. According to the man in charge, they should be done by Tuesday. So I'm looking forward to that. Once they are done, the electrician will come back in just to make sure everything looks okay. After he's done, then I'll call the carpenter to also give it a last once over before I go for what's called a "Rough Inspection". Basically, the building inspector comes out and checks the plumbing, electrical, and HVAC. So I pray that everything goes according to plan.

This is ductwork in the front of the house going up to the bedrooms upstairs. The picture before is the ductwork above the kitchen. I sent in the paperwork and money to have the gas line installed on Thursday. I was told it will take approximately 5-6 weeks before someone will come out a run the gas line. Not quite the timeline that I wanted to hear, but I can't do anything about that.

On an unrelated note, I noticed that the workers had built a small firepit outside my house to keep warm. It's getting pretty cold up here. The temps are in the 40s/50s and will soon be getting colder.

I am hoping to have Detroit Edison (the electrical company out here) come out and hook the house up to the electrical service within the next two weeks. I had to go out to the site yesterday and cut down a tree branch that was touching the electrical pole that is on my property. The branch was about 3-4 inches thick. The field service guy from Detroit Edison told me that I would have to cut down that branch before he would send anyone out to hook me up.

Now, I just need to call both the phone company and the cable company and have them run service to the house as well. I will have to remember to do that this week.
