House

Well, the house is getting closer and closer. The closing went though just fine, and they have the hole dug for the basement. Unfortunately they couldn't put it exactly where we wanted it, as we have lots of shale clay in the area. They had to move it a bit closer to our property line (thankfully the one we share with my sister-in-law), and twist the house a bit, which has become a bit more problematic than the moving of the site. The door out of the basement now has to be on the right hand wall, as the property slopes from left to right, so if it was put on the back wall there would have to be retaining walls. We were planning on having the electrical and HVAC stuff in the back right corner, but now the door is going in that area, so I want the interior HVAC in the back left corner. The master bedroom is on the left hand side of the house, so having the outside unit over there may not be a good idea, although it would be near master bathroom, as that is what is against the back wall. The house is supposed to be on site sometime this month! Yay!

I'm going to be putting in 2 on-demand water heaters, one near the master bedroom, and one near the upstairs bathroom. I'm looking at a 2 model 180's, I think they should do quite well.
