Anatomy of a Drilled Well
Posted by admin on Mar 9, 2010
When you build where there is no soure of municipal water, you will need a well, by state law. The well system needs to deliver water that is eventually tested by a third party laboratory. We take care of that for you. The picture is showing a pressure tank. The pump, which is down inside the well, which is outside your home, sends water into the house, and into this pressure tank. Inside this tank is a bladder that gets stretched outward as it is filled with water from the well. When you ask for water(turn on the kitchen sink faucett or the shower faucett) this bladder squeezes water out and thru the interior piping to whichever particular faucett you just turned on. The well’s pump, of course will then kick on to replenish the water inside the pressure tank. When we do the well, we do it all, the drilliing, the wiring of the pump, the pump, the pressure tank, the fittings and the safe water test that is required. KInda complicated but like somebody once told me…a well is a deep subject.

SOUND DAMPENING INSULATION
Posted by admin on Feb 23, 2010
We call it soundproofing, or sound batts or sound insulation…..no matter what it’s called it accomplishes the same results, making your home quiet inside. Running showers, tumbling dryers, flushing toilets, teenage girls on the cellphone at all hours of the day, a son playing the drums, wash machine, hair dryers, bath fans, televisions, vaccum cleaners etc. These are examples of things you may not want to hear inside your house or hear as little as possible from room to room. When you have company over do you have to warn your kids to stay in their rooms and keep the noise down? Do you work the graveyard shift and prefer a home that is as quiet as possible to be able to get some sleep? We have a product put on many of your interior walls to deaden the noise. It is basically insulation, but thicker and made to offer less insulation qualities and more sound dampening qualities, it only goes on interior walls. When you build with us, expect to see it. Here’s some photos of wall between a bathroom and bedroom that we soundproofed, another between a bedroom and loft area.

One of our customers had us frame in and trim around an opening in his garage so their 3 dogs would be able to exit the garage thru this door and be able to get outside to do their business. All they have to do is open up the door from the house to the garage and off they go. Neat idea, conveniant. Costs nothing. There is also 2 way doors that we can install as well for your pet.
