We didn't make it out on Friday, but did on Saturday with Bruno and April (current neighbors). Friday it rained in the afternoon and a lot in the evening, so not quite as much happened.
Electrical rough-ins in the garage.
Bruno and Preethi look at the Great Room. Wiring for the recessed lights is above. We're not quite certain if that's in the right place as we want the lights to be further up on the ceiling than where the wire is, but the large loops may indicate that the electrician is planning on it being higher than it is.
Rough ins in the great room with Cable / Phone lines running. The fireplace will be about (slightly to the right) of where you see those two higher boxes.
The wire for the great room fan is hanging down here.
The doorbell wire at the entrance.
A couple more pipes were added for hot and cold water to the washer in the laundry room (on the left).
Preethi, April, and Bruno look out the great room bumpout.
Wires (orange / black) running up for what I assume is the upstairs air handler (sits in the attic).
Coils of wire awaiting the final run out to the air handlers.
One of the master bath vaniy rough-ins. If you're really attentive, you can tell that the rough-in for the electrical and the plumbing moved to the right by about 8 inches.
Looking down from the stairwell into the greatroom. Mostly, this is to show the blue box on the ledge that will be used for track lighting in the great room to illuminate some paintings.
Plumbing vent up through the roof. It may have already been there, but I just noticed it.
Because the gap between supports for the door and windows in the Great Room was so small, the electrician had to get creative attaching the electrical boxes (in this case for a switch). Here, screws had to be sunk into the side of the box rather than nailed as is typical.
Here's what an electrical box is normally attached - simply by nailing the in on the top and/or bottom (with depth set to match the dry wall).
Another example of what had to be done to work around the tight framing around the windows / doors in the great room. Here an angled hole that cuts through some of the supports was made to get access to exterior wall between the french doors and the window.
View of the south side of the great room. If you look closely, you can see the roughed-in wires for the lights that will go over / next to the door on the deck.
Some of the wires for the lights that will go outside of the basement entrance. In theory, this is supposed to mimic the appearance of the French doors opening onto the (eventual) deck above.
We got 3 inches of rain overnight, which was more than our poor little silt fence could bear.
The rain also washed out the driveway some with gravel distributed down the culvert. According to forecasts, this week will be dry.
