New Jobs

We've been so busy lately, I have not had a chance to download photos from my camera. Here are a couple of jobs we are working on presently.

This first job is just about wrapped up after a 16 month build out. It is a tear down in Chevy Chase, MD. The architecture is unique, to say the least, in a neighborhood of 1930's vintage colonials. The architect is out of Seattle and was chosen for his modern design incorporating glass, stone, steel and leaded copper. Not my cup of tea but what do I know!

Here are some photos of the house:

Mechanicals

The mechanical system consists of two Knights, two Uni-Chillers, Super-Stor DHW tank, five variable speed chilled water AHU's w/ hot decks for back-up heat, Wirsbo radiant, two Nortec humidifiers and two Renewaire ERV's.

My sheet metal man, Ron Etter and his crew, did the ductwork and air side while Papa and Brian did the chilled water, boiler and radiant work. -DF

2nd Job

This second job is in Bethesda, MD. It is a 1940's modern style home that originally had radiant floor heat. The wrought iron piping in the slab was leaking and we proposed several solutions.

The client decided he wanted to keep the radiant floor heat rather than switch to another system. He hired a stone mason to carefully number and remove the slate floor panels. We installed the new pex radiant system and the stones were replaced.

We will be installing a new AC system, new condensing boiler, DHW tank, and four solar collectors on the roof to pre-heat DHW as well as contribute to the heating load.

Slate

Here are a few photos of the slate floor re-installed. Surprisingly, only a few of the slate panels cracked and will have to be replaced. As the original floor slates were split (rather than cut), finding comparable replacement slate has proven to be a challenge.

Very Nice Dan

I like the mechanical piping on the tear down job. And neat wiring. Seeing the green box on the panel wall, we soon will no longer find any Uponor promix controls. : (

I like the neat tubing layout also on the other job. Question: Is the slab underneath insulated?

Hi Devan,

See you next week in Chicago?

Thanks for the comments. The ProMix 101 has been our "go-to" mixing control for the last few years. We have dozens installed. As I understand it, they will be gone once the present supply runs out. Maybe tekmar has an equivalent blue box? I have yet to try the new Uponor control.

The owner still had the original mechanical blueprints for the 2nd job. The section detail shows slab insulation (but no edge) under the base slab. Whether it is actually there is anyone's guess. It was not possible to add additional slab insulation and maintain the finish floor height. A thin 1/2" layer of edge insulation was added - not ideal but all that would fit. - DF

Ron

Ron,

We have had little contact with the owner of the first job - everthing goes through the GC.

The owner of the second house is an architect who is acting as the gc as well. He is trying to preserve the architectural elements of the house. When he told his plan to remove the stone floor, I pictured every one of them cracking. As it turned out, only a handful of stones will need to be replaced.

Thanks for the comments. Hope to see you again soon! - DF
