Roofing and Electrical Rough-In Finished

This week the roofers finally finished, therefore the electrical contractor was able to finish the rough-ins under a dry roof.  We were very happy with the electrical contractor, he was willing to work with all of our requests and even had suggestions for added things here and there.  They were awesome to work with. 

 The picture below is our well pump controller and pressure tank.  It is a constant-pressure system that will provide constant pressure even when multiple fixtures are in use and the water pressure can be increased or decreased with the touch of a button.  Pretty cool I think.

Exterior Doors Installed

This week the exterior doors were installed, the electricians are about done and the roofers made good progress despite weather from Hurricane Sandy. I love how we had almost record drought conditions all summer, but as soon as we started building there hasn't been a week WITHOUT rain or wind. Frustrating...

Exterior Doors Delivered

The exterior doors were delivered this week, along with the roofing, this should help keep the place dry.

Trim Painted, Electrical Rough-ins and Concrete Flat Work

There's been a flurry of activity the past couple of days, despite the weather. The electricians showed up Sunday and installed all the ceiling and wall boxes as well as started running wires. The trim guys and the painters worked together to get the exterior trim finished. And then yesterday the concrete guys poured the concrete for our covered porches in the pouring rain, which looked like it sucked! Definitely been a busy week out there.

More Trim and Mechanicals

The exterior trim is going up slowly. The HVAC and plumbing contractors are about finished with their rough-ins. The tankless water heater is mounted, but not hooked up. It's funny, I never expected to be so excited about the mechanicals of a house. Things like the pex water lines which are routed through a manifold system and the tankless water heater have me excited, no more cold showers!!!

Exterior Trim Going Up

They started installing trim, fascia and soffits today.
