Front End Loader
Front end loader is used in the early stages like a backhoe, but is not meant for digging. It is used to move dirt and gravel or anything necessary. It doesn’t just push dirt like a bulldozer, it also picks it up.
Gypsum Board
Gypsum board is gypsum in between two sheets of paper. A material used for walls and ceilings. Also known as sheet rock or drywall.
Heat PumpAn advantage of a heat pump is that you do not need separate heating and cooling units. A disadvantage is that it only works in mild climates.
Compressor/evaporator Air Handling Unit
-The air handling unit circulates air through the house and moves the air over coils. -The compressor pressurizes and circulates refrigerant gas to produce heat or cooling in the coils.
