heat!
well, we have heat. the radiators are all working, and just need to be fine tuned. took a little while to get all the air out of the system and get it working properly, but now that it is, its very warm, quiet, and seems to be a nice even heat.
the upstairs bathrooms are both being tiled. should have all the tile finished in both of them in a week or so. i'll post some new pictures when they are finished. we have three of the 4 toilets installed. went with the toto aquia dual flush toilets in all 4 bathrooms. so far, they seem to work pretty well. the light flush is plenty powerful enough to get liquids down, and a kleenex or two. i haven't had the pleasure of doing much more than that at this point. sorry.
upstairs rooms are painted and most of the doors in the house are hung. about 95% of all the electrical is finished. just have some plates to put on switches and plugs, and a couple of lights to install.
basement concrete floor has been covered with a very light grey epoxy. at this point, that's all we'll do to the floor in the basement. laundry is hooked up and working.
started a small gabion wall between our property and the south neighbor. he gets a pretty steady stream of mud into his driveway from our back yard when it rains. this should retain most of that soil and allow us to level off the back yard under the deck.
so, we've accomplished a lot. dad's been over there most every day for at least part of the day working on stuff. we still have plenty to do, but we're making great progress. by the end of the year, we should be looking more seriously at being able to finish up. hopefully early in the year.
pictures to come.

Congrats. Sounds like it is coming along.
We need updates!
The heat source is outside air or air in the room where the unit is located. Refrigerant fluid and a compressor are used to transfer heat into an insulated storage tank. While the efficiency is higher, so is the cost to purchase and maintain these units. Heat pump water heaters are available with built-in water tanks called integral units, or as add-ons to existing electric resistance hot water tanks. A heat pump water heater uses one-third to one-half as much electricity as a conventional electric resistance water heater. In warm climates they may do even better.
Your water heater is an essential appliance. It’s the heating element in your home that provides hot water for bathing, dishwashing, and laundry washing. If you are experiencing problems with your water heater or if it needs to be replaced, we have the expertise and experience necessary to help. We provide both full-service installation of a new water heater as well as emergency repair services for those times when things go wrong unexpectedly.
You want to be sure that you select a water heater that is comfortable with your budget while providing you the energy savings you want to have. If you want the highest energy efficiency, an on-demand tankless water heater solution may be your best option.
