Oops! I Set Furnace in Wrong Place

Of course it wasn't my mistake... Just look at the blueprint below... However a homeowner was never informed about furnace location and in his dreams he was foreseeing that a furnace should be installed 43" closer to the side wall.

OK, just take a look at the previous furnace location you can see it the last time... (Just kidding).

After all canvases were disconnected I pushed the furnace to a new, and I hope, permanent location.

As a result two ducts should be extended, one shortened and the fourth one I have to run as an offset by using two 45*-s. However, before I'd re-install all the ducts I must finish some heat runs that otherwise would be blocked by new ducts. (If you would like to learn how to install heat runs please click on this link or just purchase the chapter below)

Now it's time to shorten a 12 x 8 duct.

I cut it with a saw-zall and re-install in place.

Extended a 24 x 10 duct and re-installed a zoning damper. (If you would like to learn how to run supply ducts please click on this link or just purchase the chapter below).

Figured out an offset and installed it. (If you would like to learn how to calculate offsets please click on this link).

Extended a cold air duct with re-installed canvas and patched the holes. (If you would like to learn how to install cold air ducts please click on this link or just purchase the paid page below).

Now, as everything were re-installed successfully, I hope that a homeowner is going to be much happier than he was before!
