Shillman House Chronicles: Entry #25
The worker is connecting pipes from the 10 geothermal wells to the basement of the northeast wing of Shillman House. There, the 55 degree water from the earth will circulate in the pipes to add efficiency to our heating and cooling systems. A real energy saver!
How about this view of Shillman House from Edmands Road? The siding of the southwest wing is nearly complete. The southeast wing in the background is not far behind. Every day brings new changes!

Shillman House Chronicles: Entry #24
Attention is moving now to the southwest wing of Shillman House (facing Edmands Road), where workers are preparing and installing hardy panel trim to the building. How about the new brickwork in the foreground? Looking good!!
Here we are viewing the southeast wing. The new brickwork is located near the future entry to Shillman House. Notice the steel casings of the 1,500 foot deep geothermal wells and trenches. These will soon hold the pipes that will feed the building's heating and cooling system with 55 degree water.
The construction of the southeast and southwest wings is just a few paces behind the northern wings -- but they are quickly catching up!!
