YEA, we got heat and air in Tennessee.......



When the roof was about 80% finished the heat and air conditioning guys bought a house full of pipe.....and I mean a house full of this stuff.


Back to the the-ate-tar room which was a staging area for the second flor, we are using rigid pipe instead of flex.....the cost? Don't ask, but they all drive really nice trucks to work each day....is all I will say about that.


Two sections are made on the floor and then they are worked up into the ceiling where they are joined to another run of pipe and connected....


Two sections are ready to be installed, one thing we are on everyones butt about is cleaning up as you go.....and this makes the plumber look good.


Once installed in the ceiling then they rap the pipe with a blanket after they apply a paste. Once everything looks good, they tape all the joints with a tin looking tape.


This is starting to look like a house with the drain pipes, water pipes, gas lines, wiring, cable TV wiring, phone lines, T-1 lines, ADT witing and the heat/air pipes.


Working it all thru the beams in the wine room was a chore, but it looks great.


The frame work for the 640 gallon salt water fish tank is now in place, we will be bracing it more as soon as the engineer figures out how we can get 3 under the counter refrigs under the tank.......and not make the fish nervous.
