Day 207 - 214: Central Vacuum Install and Asbestos Abatement

Hello fair readers:

We have been working diligently on the house even if I have not been blogging about it. We have walls and ceilings in the stairwell, parlour, and drawing room. Michael just installed part of the central vacuum and today we're getting the asbestos removed from the furnace and pipes in the basement. Prior to the asbestos abatement, we spent the last couple of weeks moving plastic containers to a climate-controlled storage unit. This past weekend had us taking the rest of the stuff to sell / freecycle and reorganise.

Now, some pictures for your enjoyment!

One of the central units will be by the kids' bedroom. Cool.


Here is the big beast itself a couple days ago with stuff still around it.

Today: Here is a picture of the basement looking from the furnace to the driveway.


Today: Looking through the laundry room window as the guys are prepping the pipes that are covered in asbestos.


Today: Looking from the furnace to the laundry room. This box enclosed by plastic will contain the contaminated particles that will occur when they start removing the asbestos.


Edit Tonight @ 6.00 PM EST: The furnace without asbestos! Cool. :O)


Edit Tonight @ 6.00 PM EST: Closeup of the furnace. You can see the pipes!
