Back of House View

Here is the rear view of the house. You can see Dena standing in the door connecting to the kitchen and the living room windows to the right. The windows provide heating for the house in the winter and will need to be covered with blinds during the hot summers.

Water Heater Upstairs

This should be interesting, the Water heater located upstairs !! This heavy duty water heater will most likely be replaced in the future with the tankless water heater.

Tankless Water Heater BenefitsInstant, on-demand hot water - Whenever You Want It! -S.E.T.S.' Tankless Water Heater design means that water is heated instantly, but only for as long as the hot water is being used. Conventional tank water heaters, on the other hand, heat water 24 hours a day, 365 days a year - and you pay for the energy it takes to keep the water hot. Ironically, tanks can, and do, run out of hot water when demand is high. How many showers does it take in your home before someone gets a cold surprise?Conventional heaters heat water up to 140° F in order to make the supply of hot water last. That's too hot for anyone to use, so cold water is added. What a waste of energy! S.E.T.S. Tankless Water Heaters heat the water only to the temperature required for use, and you can control the temperature with the turn of a dial.Save Energy, Save Money! - Using energy efficiently and conscientiously reduces pollution, global warming, and waste. Better use of energy can mean saving money - lots of it! S.E.T.S.' Tankless Water Heaters eliminate the need to store hot water. Energy savings of up to 50% can be realized.

They have used HARDI-PLANK on the upperpart of the house and where the thermo-ply is located is where the brick will be placed. Brick will be placed in the front sides and rear of the house.
