Breezeway 12: heating

Thursday ended with this - blankets and pads all over the new floor and a partially installed baseboard heater. Also the lovely smell of some kind of epoxy.

I was a little confused at why it wasn't all finished in a day - after all, they'd laid the pipes under the flooring and it seemed like it should be relatively quick.

Then I went down to the basement and saw this:

Our heating guy had set up his own table and laid out lots and lots of parts and tools. I guess this was a more complicated job than I thought.

Then on Friday - I saw more to indicate that yes, this project must be making our heating system a it more complex:

It isn't totally finished yet, because not everything is connected. We have a thermostat, though it isn't turning on yet. We decided on another Nest simply because we have another one already and can get them to talk to each other and sync up.

The baseboard at least is all finished, which will also allow us to start measuring to decide if we want to install cabinets between the heater and the windows.

Work has slowed otherwise, and our final punch list isn't moving along too quickly, at least in a visible way (for example, the electrician had to come tweak stuff over two days, but that doesn't make for interesting pictures). Still, the room is pretty much livable and we have started planning decor. A rug is on the way (well, technically backordered) but we can't put it down for a few more weeks anyway according to guidelines we read on polyurethaned floors.
