our hvac sub talked to the building inspector and we will be allowed to put the new ductwork in the crawl space! phew! we were really stressing about having to tunnel through the house to find room for ducts. the new hvac starts going in today.

re:purpose
i just ordered this package to convert our clawfoot tub to a shower...
these things are much more expensive than we expected! i'm amazed at how little the big things cost and how much the little things cost. but we have to get one bathroom functioning before we move in, and that bathroom has to be the guest bathroom because there's no way we're getting our master bathroom & shower tiled before the end of next month. we just need to have the clawfoot tub reglazed now.
more news to report from the hvac sub. apparently the city just started enforcing no ductwork below flood elevation, and our first floor structure is just above flood, so there probably isn't room to put the ductwork in the crawl space - where it was before (crawl space serves first floor and attic serves second floor). so now it looks like we're going to have to put it between the first and second floors to serve the first floor - and will have to box out a tray ceiling in the dining room and a couple other box-outs to carry the ductwork. that also means we'll have to try to fill in the wood floor where the former registers were located. super!
anyway, the electrical wiring is complete, and they'll come back to finish up after we get sheetrock up. plumbing rough-in started today, and hvac starts next week.

re:build
this weekend we rebuilt the hvac platform out back, as it had to be demolished to put in the foundation, and it wasn't very structurally sound to begin with. we haven't put the floor boards on yet, but here are our process photos:
and a picture of our ghetto-fabulous house:
the framers covered all the openings of the addition with felt just to protect the inside from rain until the windows come in and we get siding up. all the rest of the openings around the house are covered with plywood, so overall the house is looking pretty much like a crack-den for the time being!

re:ady
the HVAC guys demo'ed out all of our old ductwork, air handlers and condensers on friday (which kind of sucks since it's supposed to be 90 today thru wednesday)...
and we spent the weekend getting the house ready for the framers to start.
so, framing is starting today. i think they are starting on the stair, which will involve bracing the 2nd floor and demo'ing the old stair first. stay tuned for big changes!
