Nothing like a little basement work
Sooo... when someone [Ryan] says, "I think I'm going to re-route the ducts in the basement" it actually means "I'm going to start a giant never ending project that will cause a lot of stress and need to get done before we have to turn the heat on this fall..."
Here is our lovely furnace which leads some ducts to a little storage area under our kitchen nook. After ripping out the duct work to re-route it, Ryan realized that there was dry rot in the cabinet because it was built on...er, dirt. Ryan ripped out the smelly cabinet, leveled the dirt, poured concrete, framed out a wall and a new floor joist, and created a hardiebacker board storage area. Then, re-routed the ducts.
Old meets new. Sheesh, connecting ducts above your head is @!#$#@ tricky. Next step, caulk and tape and cross your fingers the air flows freely.
