Houses that have roofs, walls, windows, and doors keep us safe and protected!  Have you ever wondered about some of the other stuff that's part of a house? Things like water, electricity, and heat! Where does it come from and how does it get into our house??

Today we're going to break down how houses are constructed, how plumping allows for water to flow in and out, and how wires bring electricity into our homes. It is amazing to live in a time when we can turn on the faucet to get water or flip a light switch to get light whenever we want it! 

We'd love to hear from you! Send us a text message.
