Undergarments

As I explained a few days ago, most of the work on our house lately has been the unseen stuff, the "undergarments" of a house that aren't seen but sure do make it work. Well, someone who reads my blog asked if I had taken a photo of the water heater yet - so I assumed she wanted to see it. Here it is!

It's a giant, isn't it? Intended to service three bathrooms and two laundry rooms, plus a kitchen that gets plenty of use.

We also have plumbing off the furnace for a second heating zone for the upstairs, and a new water pump (it's bigger than the old one, too!). You can see it sitting in the back, on the left.

Finally, a new panel was put in so we can up the amps in the house. It's big, I guess the motto for the new stuff is BIG.

Since I was in the basement, I snapped a photo of our older wood stove We've been using it here and there to help with heating, as the open unheated upstairs makes for drafts and there have been plenty of times when the heat had to be off for plumbing, etc. We would love to update with a newer, more efficient stove. But what kind? Pellet? Corn stove? Just plain wood stove? It would not be in the visible living area, so no sense splurging on something like a soapstone stove. Anyone have any ideas?

Once this old gal gets cranking she runs really hot! If you don't keep an eye out she runs RED HOT, so we're leary of using it all the time or leaving it unattended. We also don't stoke it up for the night, we let it burn down before bed time.

Well, that's the tour of our new "undergarments" for now, thanks for stopping by.
