The second phase geothermal well team was out to finish the installation. An “oatmeal-like” brew was piped inside each of the 2 well shafts to completely encase the 2 geo-pipes. This assures that for the full 225 feet there are no air pockets or any other debris that could impact the efficiency of the system. After they dug trenches to connect the 2 wells at a junction box and then fed 2 lines into the foundation walls of the house.
Only one exterior first floor wall was left to build, but this one was the most challenging. Since it had 5 window headers and the fireplace header as well, the guys couldn’t lift the wall as they did the others. They just happened to have a super fork lift to strap on and do the lif
ting for them. “That was easy”.
By the afternoon the interior walls were being completed. This included the first floor bedroom and closet, bathroom and linen closet, front hall closet, location for the refrigerator and pantry, the laundry room and utility closet, and doorway entrance to basement.
