"Little" jobs

First off, my heat distribution panel made it back, this time with no damage, yea! With the help of Eric, Mark, and Joe, (it weighs in at 300+ lbs) we got it out of the back of the truck and into the house. It is now leaning up against the wall I'll be mounting it on in the mechanical room. By the way, to give you a idea of size that is a 4'x8' sheet of plywood. It consists of a controller (square box), 7 pumps, an expansion tank (tank looking thing on upper right :) and a bunch of ball valves, mixing valves, 1" copper tubing, pressure gauges and misc other parts.

Next to it I've mounted the load center (breaker panel). This officially is the start of the electrical work. Or maybe thats unofficially sense I didn't have the electrical permit when I put it in! I went up during lunch and took care of that little issue. Of course I'm still finishing up some last little details on the plumbing. I've still got to get one bathtub installed, the master shower finished, and the water heater installed. All of that has to be done after the distribution panel is installed. It also has to wait until I get the water line into the house which means hiring a core drilling company to come in and put a hole in the foundation.

Upstairs I'm finished installing the radiant tubes. It was a pain to pull all the tubes through the joist holes and then pound them into the tracks. I then hooked them into the manifold which is mounted in the attic space. I still have to home run the manifold back to the distribution panel.

The other "little" projects I've been working on is washing all of my cedar siding (every board), setting it out to dry, blocking the sill plates on the main floor, and putting the fire breaks in the chimney. Of course its these small jobs that take all the time.
