FINISHED BASEMENTS
Posted by admin on Mar 14, 2010
Some folks will opt to upgrade to floor trusses as opposed to floor joists. The floor trusses will cost a little bit more, but as the picture below shows, you are able to install all of the electrical wiring, Nearly all of the plumbing pipes and nearly all of the heating and cooling ducts up inside the truss. This means nothing hangs down which means you can have a taller and more spacious feeling lower level of your home. Very inexpensive square footage. The trusses also typically will span much farther over a given area, reducing the need for steel posts and wood beam to support the load of the upper floors. More area in the lower level for pool tables, furniture and you can be more creative. A few bucks more, sure. But a very nice functional technique used to really add to the homes size and living area.

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.
