electricians, and plumbers, and roofers, OH MY!

It was pretty busy here this week, starting with the framers. They worked some more on the inside framing, including the kitchen island and put in most of the windows, with the exception of one sliding door...

The plumber continued with his rough-in.....

and the electricians started working on placing boxes and recessed can lighting. (and also mentioned something about the home tour!) It pretty much all came to a halt on thursday, though, when we were invaded by roofers. No one wanted to be around for all that noise. Good thing they picked a great day to do it. (no rain and not too hot)

The roof went very quickly and they were able to finish in one day.

At the same time, the HRV guys were working on the HRV unit. The installed all of the gas lines, the vents for the stove and bathroom fans, and the HRV and it's vents as well.

Friday seemed kind of disappointing and quiet. The only thing anyone did was place the cistern, and fill the dry well with rocks. Everyone was scrambling to get the lumber and stuff out of the way so that the excavators can come back in and fill in the holes. This needs to be done so that the framers can put their scaffolding against the house and put up the siding.

Hopefully tomorrow we'll see the framers back to finish some details and the excavator to push dirt. Otherwise it'll be monday. Next week, more electricians, lots more electricians, a meeting with the cabinet designer to measure the bathrooms and the lighting store to walk through the lighting plan, maybe some siding, a little bit of fireplace (hopefully), the last sliding door finished. They're all going to have to haul butt, though, because there's a holiday in the middle of the week and they want the sheetrockers to start by next friday.........phew! I'm tired already!
