Plumbing and Heating

The last couple of days the heating and plumbing teams were working on the house to install the lower level pipes, drains and ducts. Here are the plumbers in action:

Certainly seems a lot easier than copper piping and I understand it works very well. Here's part of the sewer lines with a ventilation pipe that will extend to the roof.



The heating ducts have also been installed along with the main junction box into the gas furnace. Here's the junction box in the garage:


Here are some of the black underfloor ducts that are already wrapped in insulation. It's a forced air heating system and these ducts carry the warm air to different parts of the house.
