Plumbing and Electrical Trim

At mid-day today, both the plumbing and electrical trim were in process. The plumber had the whole house water filter installed, the external water heater hung and plumbed, the toilets set, and was working on connecting the various sinks.

The electrical trim crew had "dealt" outlets, switches, and cover plates around all the rooms near the electrical boxes and were busy installing them. The Dining Room, Nook, and Foyer hanging light fixtures were installed. There was a problem with the light strip over the Guest Bath vanity as it was about 6" too long. This will be changed. I think the fixture was actually right, but the framing shortened up that wall. The wall between the utility room and the dining room was about five inches shorter than I had expected, but the nook and kitchen dimensions had grown a bit.

The house is full of Love Bugs. Since the screens are not on the windows and the HVAC is not yet operational, the crews are opening windows to provide some air circulation. The cleaning crew will have a big job.

I'll spend time in the house over the weekend checking on the installations and updating my punch list.
