In the morning, the main trunk line of the heating duct is cut, taped, and hung. In the afternoon, the ductwork from the distribution box to the mixing chamber is laid out and initial assembly begins. The furnace is temporarily moved into position to estimate sizing.
On the exterior, the Hardi-panel vertical siding is mounted on the east wall. The living room triple window is installed, and the patio dooors to the rear are put in place. Except for the front nad rear entry doors, this completes all of the openings in the first floor. Upstairs, only the MBR triple and over-the-stairs triple remain.
Plumbing work (supply lines) has been postponed until the heating duct is in place.
