Weekend Check

There was no construction activity over the weekend. We took the opportunity to look at what was done during the last week. The HVAC work looks fine, with the exception of one duct that has pulled out partially from the distribution box. It may well be that the electricians leaned on it and pulled it out. It will be easy to have fixed.

So far, with about 75% of the electrical rough-in done, there are no real issues. I've found two fan boxes that I want moved a few inches to line up with the center of the two mulled together windows. I suspect they are really centered in the room, but will just look better if they are centered on the windows.

We have also found a few things that we either didn't specify well on the print, or just forgot to add. We forgot one exterior electrical outlet that we will need if we put in some low voltage lights. I'll have to speak with our Builder about adding it. We also didn't specify that one outlet in the dining room was to be at countertop height, so I'll have to ask to have that moved up. Both should be relatively easy changes at this point.

I expect the electricians will finish up on Monday and then the low voltage electrical, pest defense system, and interior insulation will be put in place. Then will probably have a few days of down time as the thermal efficiency inspection won't be until 8/14. (I'm told they only come to LoMD on Tuesdays).
