The primary activity the last two days has been painting of millwork in the carpeted areas. That was done Monday. Today the carpet installers arrived at 9:30 and went to work. It was kind of an odd setup, eventually involving six different people who came in and out as the day went by, but either way by 3:30 or so all the carpeting was in place and it looked great. Finally, the OSB we've been walking on and abusing for four months is nowhere to be seen.
Electric work continues. The hot water heater is hooked up and works fine. Now we have hot AND cold running water. Woo hoo. :)
The whirlpool faucet will arrive tomorrow. We called the plumber and HVAC guys to come back Thursday to go to work. We also called the excavator back in, he will try to get it done Thursday or Friday. Paul will contact him Thursday morning to find out when he will be coming so he can be there.
If the electric is finished we could maybe have the inspector come Friday afternoon, otherwise more likely Monday because that will give Al the weekend to finish up. He may need it. Still remaining to be done are the furnace, air conditioner, stove, dishwasher, dryer, installation of ANOTHER missing circuit (there was no feed to the family room; the whole room is completely dead) and fixing the light over the stairs. That's just off the top of my head, I can't remember if there's any more. The smoke detectors and doorbell are in but the wires aren't run to 110V yet. We also have a dead outlet in the homework desk. That's kind of a biggie because we'll be using that to charge up our electronics. We also need to get the fireplace going.
Kathy is anxious to empty the storage unit to avoid paying another month's rent on it. So Paul dragged four pickup loads full of stuff to the house and left most of it in the recently-cleaned garage for the time being. We were specifically looking for the dining room table and did soon unearth it, but we were unhappy to find the glass tabletop had broken in two. Now we'll have to go have a new top made at the glass shop. The pedestals and chairs survived fine, at least.
Think that's it for now. Wonder how much more progress we'll have by the end of the week.........
