Turning up the Heat

The bulk of the furnace was installed over the last week. The three zone system with its returns, diverters, etc. made for a behemoth of a unit. Good thing there was plenty of space for it. It will be interesting to see how the unit will function in conjunction with the two wood stoves.

Hardwood floor is turning out to be a bear

The wormy maple flooring is turning out to be very difficult to install. The random widths, floating tongues, and shallow grooves make every piece unique. I've learned a couple of tricks that have helped to get the floor looking better, but it is going very slowly. I think that the end result is going to be beautiful, but getting there is going to require vast amounts patience.
