Getting good pictures for the inside wiring is much harder than framing pictures!
So wiring this week: We have electrical wiring everywhere! We have a lot of outlets, 4 outlets in the front of our house plus our holiday outlets for lights, two special outlets in the garage on their own circuit, as well as one in the closet of our media room. Then we got wired for 'cable', our TV wires are everywhere, then we got Cat6E in many rooms so we'll be ready for google fiber if it every shows up! We also got wired for our audio - we have 4 different channels of audio with switches to turn the audio on and off. We chose our great room/kitchen, master bathroom, outside patio and study. We can easily add more speakers if we want them to share one of the preset channels. They are bluetooth connected so you can play from your phone, with each channel playing their own thing if you want to. Sounds cool :)
In other news our BBQ outlet is now relocated to the correct location. We also got our 'termite spray' yesterday, so our boards are all green on the bottom now! Our fireplace is officially hooked up to the gas line, and it has an electric starter so we can push a button to turn it on. Sweet! No more singed eyebrows!!!
As you can see below, we had our first block party! The architects/engineers and higher ups came to do a walk through on my plan. Apparently when we added the loft, we weren't supposed to also be able to do the vaulted ceilings like we chose to. The design center let us do it anyway since that's what we wanted. Well it added 2 feet to the ceiling...which adds to how far the stairs have to go up, which changes where the stairs end up.... which changes a bunch of little things it looks like. The architect is redoing the plans and may not allow the high ceilings in the future but if they do, the plans obviously can't be the same as the regular ceiling!
We are marching quickly towards being ready for our pre-drywall inspection. This is when we do a final walk through and point out anything that we see that may be incorrect before the insulation comes in and everything gets dry-walled.
Prior to our walk through the project manager does a walk through and signs off, as does the frame engineer. Then once WE sign off it goes to the city for inspection.
We are told we should be ready for our walk through in a week.
