- the heat and air man is ready to begin, and his men are here to dig wells for the geothermal heat pump we are installing! You will see several photos of their equipment, as they dig 200-ft. deep holes to house the vertical loops of pipe that will circulate the water and use the ground temperature to keep it warm before returning it to a heat exchanger.

We are excited about all of the rapid-fire changes going on... it is fun to go to the house and see what has been accomplished in, literally, hours! If this trend continues, we are going to be moving sooner than we thought!Click on any photo to see a larger image.
