Check out our heating system– it’s coming together! That little box with the American flag on it is the water heater for our closed-system hydronic radiant heat. Yesterday Morgan was installing conduit for the power to hook in.
The meter will move here.
Speaking of power, we have met the exterior grade requirements for moving the power to the new location and are waiting for the power company to make a date with us to actually move it, which should be within the next couple of weeks.
The new panel awaits hookup.
Siding is our other pressing goal. We got the Hardie plank finished on the lower level, but have quite a bit of cedar left to hang and paint.
We got the longest pieces up last weekend.

We’re on the verge of a new level of comfort here at the Hammershack. After two winters with only space heaters for comfort, we are really looking forward to the steady warmth of a heated slab of concrete.
Hammershack Report 
Everything looks great, and the plumbing is awe inspiring. Remember, no falling off ladders…
All I’m doing is giving away books and bookcases to have painters come in. You or Morgan do it all yourselves. I’m so impressed! Good news about the heating. Space heaters are dangerous as I’m sure you know. What are you doing for thanksgiving? I think I’m going with my sister and my friend Gerry. Today I made a sweet potato cranberry dish and if it’s good I’ll make it again for the holiday. I got something for you but decided it wasn’t really good enough. I have a new idea so I’ll send it in the next couple of weeks. Love judy
