Well this week we reached a milestone. The contractors started installing sheetrock. If you had told us on June 4th that on January 7th we would still not be in our new building I probably would have laughed at you, but I'm not laughing now...not that I blame anyone, things just move a little slower during the winter in New England.
But on the bright side, Brian and I have been working diligently on our new heating system. Back on September 17th we posted pictures of the guys installing our radiant heat tubing. Now we've finally reached the point where we are setting up our salvaged Weil Mclaine oil boilers (which we plan to run bio-diesel in). Eventually we plan to install solar panels on the roof to run the system. The building was designed to be very tight and evergy efficient so it should not take a lot to heat it.
Here is a picture of one of the three radiant heat manifolds. By this time next week the heat will be on.
In closing, Donna and I would like to wish all of our customers a Happy New Year. Lets hope 2009 turns out to be a bit better than 2008!
John
