The electric installation was completed Sunday. Paul also finished installing all the network jacks Sunday night (as he is a network technician, this is one of the few things at which he is truly competent....) and that went well. Some jacks needed to be repunched, but no big deal.
Phone service was brought to the house on Monday, and with it came our DSL Internet service too. Only problem was that nobody had connected it to the inside wiring. So that was Paul's job too. He picked up a roll of outdoor phone cord at Radio Shack and, after a few false starts due to the stripped wire breaking, soon had the network interface connected to the phone block inside. He connected a couple jacks to the block, and just like that we had two working phones in the house. Then he connected the DSL modem a few minutes later so we have an Internet connection here too.
Cable is coming Thursday, so Paul will just have to get his coax cables spliced and connected to splitters tomorrow night. That won't take long.
Now we just wait on the landscaping. Finishing Touches Landscaping is coming Thursday to start constructing the wall. They should be done by Monday. Paul tentatively scheduled the final grading for Tuesday. On Wednesday morning we'll have the surveyor come in the certify the grading, and assuming that's done correctly we'll have the inspector come by as soon as possible thereafter to give us our occupancy permit. Then we'll finish moving and that will be that.
Last week we had moved boxes of stuff from the basement of the condo to the garage of the house. Today since the weather finally cooled off we moved the stuff to the basement here so the garage / receiving dock :) is ready for more stuff.
Paul moved a little bit of stuff from the condo to the house today and wanted to do more but he is oddly worn down and doesn't have the energy to do much. We cleaned out some stuff but he's done by 9:30, which is early for him.....
