So between clearing snow and continuing to put together the radiant floor system, not a lot of change has taken place. Our start up date for the radiant floor system is right after Christmas.
I have been making some adjustments on the radiant floor system; and after pressurizing it with air having to deal with a few leaks in the system. Of all things, all leaks have been on the threaded connections. All of what must be nearly 50+ solder joints have had no leaks. This weekend has been spent tying into the house with the solar tank which will feed the house with domestic hot water. 
Hot water obviously is not needed in the house yet but the tank needs to be filled to offer buoyancy for the heating coils from the flash hot water heater and also the coils that will eventually be fed by the solar panels.
This past week rough-in plumbing was, for the most part, completed. The only thing that remains is to tie into the septic tank, pressurize the system and call for inspection.
Most of the wiring has been completed for the radiant floor system system. The sensor and relay for the solar tank has to be hooked up yet,
and wiring from the thermostat for the main zone of the house needs to be completed.

Amongst other things, last weekend's project was to finally get the front door installed.
We have been waiting for two months for the door to arrive. The other two service doors also arrived. They will be located in the kitchen area and in the master bedroom. Those will, at a minimum, have a sealer of some sort applied to them before being installed.

We had taken this as far as was needed so the plumbers could get started plumbing at the time.
We now need to get it finished up so that we can get started wiring. Our plan is to, at some point during the week after Christmas, get wiring under way. A great deal of wiring has taken place due to the nature of the SIP panels being used and the open ceiling. So most of the great room and dining room have been wired already, and with the floor joist system upstairs wiring should be made relatively easy to get the longer runs of wire in.

This past week I met with a sound system company to get some ideas on what is all needed to get the house wired for music throughout the house. They were very helpful to get me started on how the system will be set up, what types of wire to run right now, and boxes that need to be mounted for room by room control of the sound system.
And finally, to all of our friends, family and readers of this blog, Have A Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!
