Front Walkway

We got a warm day in December so it was on to patching up the mud hole in the front. As it turns out, there was a good bit of sidewalk that led up the old side door that went away...so now here it is moved to the front. It goes over top the trench for the geothermal - hope it doesn't settle too much (I compacted it as much as I could). Looks pretty good, I think.

Geothermal

So...after we finished the renovations we decided to bite another bullet and install the geothermal heating and cooling. We drilled two new wells and trenched a line into the house. This of course tore up what was left of our sidewalk, so that will be next.





Here's the unit in the basement. Looks space age...we're waiting to see how well it works. And we're waiting for the big tax refund for installing this energy efficient option!
