Geothermal Well Drilling and More

We’re now at the stage where rooms begin to look like rooms and not a mass of vertical lumber you can see through. Lots has been happening—much of it not making for scintillating video, until now. The two geothermal well holes were drilled (300-ft. deep), siding application is well under way, insulation (except blown-in above ceilings) is in and inspected. All rough-in plumbing, electrical, and HVAC has been approved, and drywall hanging begins today.

A fair bit of this 4-minute video touches on the geothermal installation. More about the wonders of geothermal heating and air conditioning and how it works (video) in this earlier post.
