miles and miles of wire

This week, it was all about the electricians. They started in full swing on monday and pulled miles and miles of wire.

They also installed the can lights for the kitchen and anywhere else they needed to be....

There's a million details with the electrical, but they're almost done. The plumber was here too, finishing up some bits, and friday was a big day when they installed the fireplace.....

The disappointing thing is that the framers are MIA. Haven't seen them since last tuesday. They still have a BOATLOAD of detail work to do....not sure WHAT's up with that, but according to the plumber (remember, he knows EVERYTHING) the rough-in plumbing, electrical, and framing inspections will all be next tuesday. THAT ought to be a busy day. Guess those framers better get going!!! We also had a little house shopping spree this week, washer and dryer from sears, (I had my heart set on a kenmore), Ikea PAX, a kind of storage cabinet as an test for the mud room, think it's going to work out great, and our little impulse buy, a beautiful leather couch from Bassett, that'll be here in about 8 weeks, just in time to move in. (fell in love with a 8x10 rug too, but ran out of time to go get it) So, next week, inspections on tuesday, possibly sheetrock beginning on wed., the solatubes will be installed at the beginning of the week. Not sure what comes after that...we'll just have to wait and see.
