Utility Room
_______________________________________________ October 3, 2008
![]() New washer water supply and drain line, 220V outlet for electric dryer, vent for dryer, and pot light in ceiling. The holes are patched, but obviously not painted yet. ![]() The old oil furnace that was installed in 1969. It was still running strong, but cost a fortune to operate. That's the electric water heater next to it. It was only a couple years old, but it was too small. ![]() The old fuse boxes were behind the furnace. They must have been disconnected in '69 when the furnace was installed right in front of them, and a new circuit breaker panel was installed in a new location. ![]() The furnace and water heater out of the room so we could patch holes and paint. ![]() Looks a lot better and brighter with a fresh coat of white paint. ![]() And a new window helps too. We decided to go with obscured glass on this one. ![]() And a new furnace just in time for colder weather. We had a heating contractor do the installation and run all our gas line. I think it was money well spent since they were done with the whole thing in about 7 hours. ![]() A closer look at the new furnace. ![]() And our new water heater. The furnace contracters connected it to the chimney for us since it was right there. We still need to put the earthquake straps on. |
