These pictures show the geo-thermal heating system. These pictures were taken before the rainstorm we had on Thursday. One coil is unrolled and ready to be covered, the other coils are waiting for their trenches to be dug. PJ went through each coil to ziptie the coils in the appropriate spots so that they stay in the slinky pattern they are in when unrolled. Phil has been digging the 9-foot trenches for the coils and tubing. The coils were connected to the main tube this week.
We had a pretty nice rain storm on Thursday. I had an inservice at school that night and didn't get home until really late. I came home to a very clean, but very empty house, to my surprise. After a bit of running around I discovered the reason for my families disappearance. The storm had caused the trenches of the geo-thermal system to collapse and some of the tubes had started to get kinks in them. So, PJ and Phil were out in knee-deep mud and water digging them out and making sure they were all okay...all in the middle of the night! Ben was with Kerri, fast asleep and unfortunately with a bit of a fever and a runny nose. He had a hard time sleeping throughout the next couple of nights...but was feeling much better throughout the next days.
The geothermal system is doing fine, all was saved, thanks to PJ and Phil's hard work. They now have to bury the rest of the coils, which will happen soon.
