More October Sunrise

 

A couple new shots

 

The resident ground hog

 

Winter Wood

The wood stack grows. I just hauled up another powerwagon full from the hurricane fallen chestnut oak. I'll still need a fair bit more to make it through the winter, but we're off to a good start.

Aeden really enjoys helping with the fire. He likes helping bring in the fire wood and putting it in the stove as we prepare to start a fire. We can't be to careful, but he does seem to understand the danger with a hot stove around.
 

Radon Issues

After getting fairly high radon reading in our home (8.6 piC/L), we had someone come to mitigate the problem. We had already put a stub of 4" PVC through the slab, so it was just a matter of testing for adequent air flow through the gravel underneath the slab/plastic and then running the pipe. The mech room piping was already tight... I'm impressed they were able to squeeze it in. Overall a quality job... we're monitoring the radon level now to see how much the system brought it down. Here is the final installation:


Coming up out of the slab. The u-tube manometer measures the pressure delta induced by an exterior mounted fan.


Piping run in the mech room. The pipe has an upward slope.
Fan and exterior run. Standard aluminum gutter is used to run it up the side of the house.
Final exit is vented over the even of the house. It's nice not to have another hole in the roof.
 

October Sunrise

We just got a new digital camera and had a great sunrise to test it out on. Hopefully, with the faster acqusition rate and a burst mode... it will be a bit more capable at capturing Aeden at just the right moment. It did a nice job on the sunrise.
