Entry 29: Kickin' on the AC

Hello summer friends,

On Tuesday, I made a visit to the site to give a tour to a reporter. The first thing to show you from the outside is the Cembonit is mostly complete. See a photo of the front face below.


The deck installation is next on the agenda for the outside. The exterior doors by Anderson are scheduled to come in next Tuesday. While the weather has been excruciatingly hot and humid, the home is cooling down as one of the two AC units was up and running Tuesday.


Inside, the pocket doors were being installed in each of the 2 upstairs bedrooms. This will allow both doubles to easily open up adjoining rooms. What you see below is the cavity for the doors, which will be covered with dry-wall.


Lastly, an unexpected visitor (Sundance) came by to install the solar thermal system on the roof. I took this picture below of the backside of the 5 panels before they go up.


This is my penultimate week here at Smart Home, so check in next week for my final entry of the summer and there will likely be a long hiatus as Tom and I will be in Uganda soon working on our project in collaboration with EWB.
