Day 4

Trades, mechanicals, roughs, meps, whatever you want to called it, it looked like an ant farm on Monday. Electricians, plumbers, heating and air, insulators, inspectors, framers, roofers, crawled all over the house and by the end of the day we had passed 5 inspections and were ready to hang sheetrock. It was a tight space and yet all of the trades worked well together and did an amazing job. AC electric had Mike, Joey, Mark, Richard, and others all drilling and pulling. The boys from Comfort air were doing their best to follow the HVAC layout and the proof of their quality came in the duct loss testing which showed less leakage than even was required. PF plumbing just made it happen and by lunch had there pressure tests on and passed. Branchelin insulation took care of the thermal and sound insulation as well as sealing the walls to prevent any air leakage. By building a house that is so air tight there needs to be some consideration to indoor air quality. Being energy efficient is great, but we wanted to make sure the house was also healthy and comfortable to live in. We installed an ERV (google it for a further defenition) to circulate the air in the home making sure we had fresh air filling the lungs of the occupants. The old home had mildew and mold issues, but by insuring the proper amount of air changes, the new house will remain a healthy living environment.
