1005 West Fairview Ave

The drywall is going up...

Almost all of the supplies that have filled the yard are gone...

The roof is on...

There are morning glories amnog the weeds in the backyard (that's Beth's birthday flower- appropriate since the closing will be around her birthday)...

And the outside of the house is being prepared for the siding to be put on...

Here you can see the fuse box for the house, an outlet and some of the wiring. The basic electrical work is done. After an inspection, the final electrical work can be completed.

The ductwork is now in place for the heating and cooling system. All of the air in the house will be cycled through the rooms and a machine called a 'counterflow heat exchanger.' This sends exhaust air past the incoming air in such a way to 'recover' 95% of the energy (for a detailed explanation, see www.e-colab.org). This system maintains a comfortable temperature in the house with 90% of the energy use of 'traditional' homes.
