Lots of Activity

Friday was a very busy day at the house.

The plumbing trim was done, except for the kitchen island and the powder room vanity sinks which are delayed until the correct cabinets are installed.

The electrical trim continued, and most of the electrical work is done. Again, the electrical to the kitchen island could not be done until the cabinets are installed. We're still waiting on the electrical box / GFI / wiring for our special hot tub circuit. All the light fixtures were installed. The smoke detectors were installed. A whole house surge suppressor was put in the main meter box.

The main control for the water heater was installed in the garage, even though I told the installer that it was not to go there, but in the hall as specifically shown on the print. Now they'll have to come back and move it and also repair the wall. I suppose the "do overs" generate income for the hourly trades.

The mirrors in the master bathroom and the guest bathroom were installed. The powder room mirror is, of course, waiting for the correct cabinet to arrive.

All the shelving for the closets and pantry were installed. They are all ok except for the Master Closet, where the installer again thought the print specifications were only suggestions. This will be a do over, including patching holes in the wall and paint touchup.

Between 4 and 6:30 PM it poured at LoMD. It was like a swimming pool in the area in front of the front porch that is enclosed by the front walk. I don't see how any plantings will survive in this area unless gutters are installed to route the water elsewhere. There was one minor leak in the garage around the furnace chimney. My rain gauge at Royal Harbor showed 3.53" of rain yesterday. The lake levels are coming up.
