This morning the electricians were back at work. When we stopped by the site, the crew supervisor asked if I could hang around for a bit until our Builder could join us. The electricians had questions about the hot tub disconnect, which has been a contentious issue for awhile, and told me that since I had so many 240V circuits, and already had a 200 Amp service box, that they would have to add a sub-panel for added breakers.
I gave my ok on the sub-panel and our Builder said he would get clarification on the hot tub disconnect, which I want mounted on the rear of the house outside the screened lanai / cage, but the electricians believe needs to be in the cage.
We talked about moving two fan boxes to center them on the main room window, rather than the physical center of the room, along with moving an outlet in the Dining Room and adding an outside outlet I had missed in design planning.
By the end of the day the electrical rough-in was done, except for the subpanel box, some lanai outlets, and the hot tub disconnect. I emailed to the electrical inspector at the City of Mount Dora and received a prompt reply that my interpretation of the code was correct. The box needs to be at least 5' from the hot tub, visible from the hot tub, and can be outside the cage.
The electricians also ran the wire for the garage door controls, the door bell, and the water heater remote controls.
Good progress again today.
