Electrifying

Electrifying....

February 25th -- today is a much better day than yesterday.  The electricians returned early and the plumbers were back.  I raced off to the plumbing supply house to request the missing trim piece.  I was successful last night to drop off the lock sets at a "big box" home improvement center and would need to return to pick up the re-keyed locks.  The electricians continued their work to install the remaining light fixtures and to complete the new wiring and expanded electrical panel.

I returned to find that the plumber had installed the kitchen faucet, as shown below.

The faucet had been installed in the guest suite bathroom -- this faucet was selected to match the plumbing that will be in stalled in the claw foot tub that will go in this bathroom

The light fixture was also installed over the sink in this bathroom, as shown here.

By the end of the day, the wiring was done, the circuits were no longer failing and light fixtures and plumbing fixtures were shining in the kitchen, 

in the pantry....

in the 3/4 bathroom, which also has a faucet (and only awaits the shower trim to be complete)....

The  ceiling fan, lights and speakers were installed in the master bedroom ....

The two faucets were installed in the master bathroom.

Part of the bath tub fixtures were installed in the master bathroom.

The control box for the heat coils that were installed under the tile floor in the master bath was installed and the tile floor is warm to the touch.  This control box has way too many functions, so I will need to read the manual so that I can program when to heat the bathroom tile floor!

As soon as the remaining bath tub fixtures and shower fixtures are installed, the master bath room will soon be functional.

Although we still need a few glass cover trims for canister lights in closets and over bath tubs and showers to meet code, the electricians will request a final electrical inspection for tomorrow or the day after.

The plumber is scheduled to return tomorrow to install the pot filler faucet in the kitchen and to complete the remaining bathrooms.  It isn't clear when the work will begin on the plumbing for the claw foot tub, which is currently sitting in the gathering room and needs to be reglazed. 

There are exterior hose bibs and a gas line to the deck for a future grill that the plumbers need to install, as well as the completion of the green house and the electrical circuits for it.   However, the weather has turned very cold -- temps are in the teens -- with snow, so there will be no work outside until the weather gets warmer later this week.
