Internal Project Reference · Air Handler Installation
Scope and site documentation for the air handler installation — three work areas across the home, for the carpentry team and owners.
The Project
Installing the air handlers affects three locations. Each area needs its own carpentry to house the equipment and provide access, plus drywall repair where electrical is run.

Jeff from Master Plumbing does not get this correct. We're not building a whole sloped wall that matches the beam that's there because we don't want to enclose that whole space. We're going to build a shelf higher up with enough area to hold the air handler. The bottom of that shelf will be ship-lapped to match the other ceiling. The sides will be sheet rocked, and the access panel will go into the bedroom upstairs. There will be no access panel in the master bedroom.
