Labor Day Weekend - underground passage

Now it looks like a house
siding will be rusting steel for first 3 ft, then stucco and board/batten perhaps, some shingles up high
curved sub facia will get the red color as well, glu lams and braces will stay natural

openers will go in Wednesday, the silo gets rusting steel and a conical cap

the garage doors will get a traditional red paint

our well water treatment system from USWater Systems
We have passed underground inspection - spray foam and concrete floors are next
lots of stuff underground
orange tubing is the radiant floor heat feeder lines
this is the Broan heat recovery vent unit, we will exhaust stale warm air and use it to heat incoming fresh air, add humidity, and enjoy.....this unit will run full time and exhaust the bathroom air as well
