Building a home from scratch is a long process.
There are so much to choose from and so many decisions to make when developing a home into a home… From pouring the foundation to putting up the wood that ultimately designs the house, it is one of the few steps where you can visually see a home coming together.
Once the home is up with drywall, doors, windows and a roof it becomes more fun for me. I like to choice out the paint colors, appliances and new decor. I will let the contractors do the electrical and Heating and A/C work. The electrician came the other afternoon to complete the electrical work. That is all done and now there’s electricity in our home. The Heating and A/C professional came to my home this week to discuss heating and cooling options. He brought up HVAC duct and showed me pictures of other houses with unusual types of HVAC duct. I didn’t realize that there were other materials that were used to supply and return boiling and freezing air. Some materials that I saw were building cavities that were made out of wood and wallboard inner surfaces that supply unquestionably little leakage. Another material was adjustable non-metallic ducts. These ducts are adjustable and are mainly installed in attics or slender sites. One of the options that my buddy and I were interested in was the HVAC duct made out of sheet metal that is made out of galvanized steel. This type of HVAC duct can sometimes leak where sections can join. The other choice my buddy and I saw was fiberglass duct board that is used to feed smaller ducts.
