Furnace & Duct Installation
On Wednesday the furnace and ductwork installation began on the Starter Home 2.0 project in Pleasant Ridge. By taking advantage of the flexibility offered up by the 2x4 'dummy' walls for plumbing, mechanical, and electrical runs and the centrally located distribution system, the mechanical layout is compact and efficient, which cuts down on up-front material costs, as well as long-term energy bills. The exhaust ductwork for the second floor bathrooms were also roughed-in and included in the progress photos below.
