Adventures at The Bunny Manse

Harris installed a ceiling fan in the bedroom this weekend which is amazing awesome.  The upstairs is hot - we have only indirect heat up there and you can walk around in short sleves. We're going to have the HVAC people come back out and experience this so they can modify their HVAC quote.  What they were proposing before was incredibly oversized considering the heat retention in the house.

This will mean our boxes are unpacked - we're not constantly searching for things or tripping over things, and that we feel ok living here. There's some trim work, some sash work, and set up to do, but if we do a little each night we'll be finished with it all soon enough. we've been eating out a lot. When our...

 Harris cleaned and created fire in our Warm Morning heater. Lucky for us the 65,000 BTU natural gas heater with thermostat and blower also comes with pilot lighting instructions.   We're both a little trepidatious when it comes to gas, but so far we're doing ok!
