Hot Water

So our visit on Friday turned up a brand new hot water heater . Those of you unfamiliar with tank-less hot water heaters may think we got swindled but that little box (about 3ft by 2ft) is the hot water heater. It heats the water on demand so there's no need to heat water just in case you need it. You only heat what you use. Tankless systems save an average of 25-40% off of your utility bill. Better yet, these little beauties are manufactured right here in Charleston by Eccotemp so we're helping the local economy and saving on the "not-so-green" costs of shipping products around the world.

Plumber's Handiwork

Well folks, another day another new addition in the house. The Plumber was at the house on Thursday morning and went right to work on installing the fixtures. When I was there on Wednesday at lunch time, the counter tops in the bathrooms weren't in. All of the separate contractors are in and out finishing up their work.

The contractors are doing a really professional job and Verdi, the builder, is patient with all of our perfectionist tendencies. We have a walk through meeting on Friday afternoon so who knows, there may even be more to see by then.

The Tileman

As Sara and I were leaving Oak Terrace Preserve on Sunday, we noticed a couple trucks behind our place that hadn't been there long before. They were the tile men apparently as the bathroom tile is in. This picture is from the downstairs half-bath.

The electricians were there as well Sunday or Monday as all the lights are installed and it looks like the counter tops are going in soon.

I've been quiet but the builders haven't

The painters put up the first coat of interior paint. We went with a simple tan color for the walls. Sara and I were by the house making measurements for area rugs and blinds. The tile guy will be at the house this week to do the bathroom floors and the plumber and electrician will likely be in this week as well. There's just about 6 weeks until we move in and it's coming along really fast.
