Wisconsin House Updates

First up...Tom's pic of the Rainbow around the Sun...also known as a halo around the sun. We love our rainbows. Every time I see a rainbow around the sun I think of Stealin' lyrics: Put your arms around me like a circle 'round the sun, You know I'll love you mama when my easy ridin's done.

The upstairs getting framed up! This picture is looking west...the door on the right is to a laundry room.

Stairway is to the garage overpass which leads to the front driveway.

The doorway in the pic below will be to a pantry. Slider door leads out to the deck.

This is a bathroom door.

In the far right back corner will be a walk-in closet. On the left will be a bathroom. In front of the closet on the right will be an office/bedroom and on the left will be a larger bedroom.

Looking into the bedroom and then door to the bathroom.

Tom working on the solar/boiler controls to make the solar hot water system and boiler work automatically.

Pretty cool little controller. It gives the fluid temperature at the outside solar collectors and when it's about 70F it will turn the AC pump on to pump it into the floors. It also has a sensor for outdoor air temp, and indoor air temp. Tom added some additional relays so that if the DC (solar electric driven) pump is on (meaning it's sunny outside) then the boiler will not turn on. There's a sensor in the water heater, so the boiler will turn on to heat the hot water, and this was put on a timer and another relay so the boiler won't turn on during the day if it's sunny out. I know there is more that it does, but that's the gist of it!
