We've had a great deal of fun building a unique house that suits our style and likes but there is a serious side to the project as well. It was our intention to build a house that is efficient to operate, as green as possible and that will last a long, long time. Janis and I did a lot of research for each system and sought out reliable contractors who would bring our unique dream to life.

The heating system was one of the key components. Richard's Plumbing and Heating was recommended to us by our framing contractor. Richard does nice work. He recommended a top quality hot water heating system for our dream house - the same one he put in his own abode.

It was fascinating to watch as he put in the many pieces of the complex piping system and the many controls. Richard patiently explained each piece to me, what it did and why it was good. It is a carefully crafted work of fine art!

Tomorrow the heat gets turned on.
