A/C Flexible Duct And Spa Deck Work

  By

Flexible Duct And Spa Deck work continues

Well This post includes some AC Duct upgrades and the hot tub deck, Last year the deck was built for the hot tub, the tub was removed for the winter, before I set it back up I decided to add a roof and treat the pressure treated wood which I always like to dry out before adding sealer, etc. along with that it needed a roof plus an awning for some rain protection for the outside seats at the bar area.

Not related to the deck I went into the attic and replaced the A/C flexible vent hoses that have been there since the 80’s. This needed to be addressed because in the summer attic heat had condensation water forming and drops were failing into the 2 rooms upstairs, one vent was over my bed which hit me in the face at night on occasion. The colder weather outside is the time to go up there to do this kind of work. I added more insulation on top of the metal boxes and will see how this works out when the summer heat arrives again, I already added a exhaust fan 2 years ago which helped somewhat.

I did not want to make 2 posts so this has both pictures of the attic and the deck with a roof and awning.

Before and After Photos: Home Improvement Projects and Renovations – Crawlspace, Guest House, Yard Work, and More

  By

The current and past projects we have worked on or are currently working on include the crawlspace and guest house redo, along with the yard work.

I still have to work on the Jukebox along with 2 inside doors. Where does the time go. I’ve been here over 4 years already! I just wanted to post some before and after photos.

Old AC New AC

Old energy hog gas furnace and 3 ton AC. Replaced with 3 ton heat pump high efficiency model. You have to say wow to the difference in physical size.

I wish I had after photos to show all the ductwork that was replaced, I do have photos of the big pile on the sidewalk.

guest house before and after

Photo on left was taken on a few days after my closing before I cut down the overgrown shrubs.

Shower then and now

On the left the guest house plastic shower, note the hot and cold water pipes running across the ceiling, this was a big project as the floor had to be rebuilt and plumbing completely rerouted and replaced, along with the walls. Also it was enlarged as the electric hot water tank was removed and replaced with a wall mounted “On demand” heater.

Sove moved

Perhaps the most difficult job was removing the double window and installing a door and relocating the stove, the left photo shows the window and the old location of the fridge and roll around dishwasher that hooked up to the faucet.

You can see on the right the new stove location and door, along with upper and lower cabinets, the old location of the stove has been replaced with a built-in dishwasher.

closet added

These old houses were not designed with lots of closet space, the spare bedroom needed a closet, on the left is the wall I chose to use, I think it came out pretty well. new paint was also needed.

New Spa located behind garage

What was pretty much dirt behind the garage wound up being a good place to build a deck for a hot tub we purchased, so some relocating for the gas grille and a storage bin had to be done, this really has worked out well for us.
