After nearly 2 months of waiting on the back-ordered fans, all three units have arrived, and one is already installed! It's beauty in motion. When activated, both fans spin, and they rotate around the global-like base. Two of these fans will greet you in the entry and loft, mainly to move any heat lingering in the vaulted ceiling. The remaining fan will be installed in the master bedroom to combat the warm summer nights.

In other news, the hot water heater is installed! However, it only helps with the sinks, and maybe one bathroom upstairs. Most of the faucets were removed when the house was abandoned. The master bathroom poses the greatest challenge (and expense). Because I'm getting older, and these bones are starting to noticeably ache, a bathtub capable of comfortably holding a man over 6 feet tall is to be installed. The shower has room for two. If we fill all the predrilled holes, there are two rainfall downpours, six body jets (three per person), and one shower head on a hose attachment. Strangely, according to county code, as long as each faucet's output is 2.5 gallons per minute or less, we can have as many as we wish.
Tomorrow, the septic guy should be on site. Not a moment too late. As I was doing a final check before leaving the house, I could hear a gurgling noise in the tub area. Unlike in town, a home off the grid requires its own septic system. Ours is likely filled with mud, and hasn't been flushed out and maintained properly.
