Unfortunately the rains had set in last week which slowed down the framing. With a few hours here and a few hours there the framers got the house some what dried in so the rough-ins can start.

The first to start rough-ins was the HVAC contractor installing the main ducts inside the house. Of course they took up some of my master suit closet and hall closet. They also started drilling the holes for the geo-thermal heat pump lines, 2 holes 300ft each.
You can see the HDPE lines in the pictures. Basically they will drill the holes then place the pipes down in the hole, one inlet and one return in each hole, and then fill the holes with grout. This is a closed loop vertical system. The lines will be placed in a 4ft deep trench back to the house then through the foundation in to the crawl space to be hook up to the unit. The designer of the system was happy to the see we hit rock because of the better heat transfer I'll get in rock versus just soil. 
The HVAC guys put the return duct under the stairs. Not the best place for furniture layouts but we did not have much of an option.
Also to show up this week is the windows and the trusses for the detached garage. So time to wrap the house and start putting in some windows and start on the detached garage. Things starting to get a little busy.
Plumbers are suppose to show up this week and get started with their rough ins.
