It is really beginning to look like a house inside.
The HVAC guys came out and installed all of the AC grids on all the vents and installed Andy's handy-dandy, z-wave enabled, home automation connected thermostat for upstairs. What a geek!! They will be back after we have electricity to hook it up and check it out.
Speaking of electricity... we now have it in the new addition!!! Yahooie!! It is great not having to pull long extension cords around as we work. The lights and light fixtures are in except for the under-cabinet lighting and range exhaust hood. Those will have to wait until Andy is finished hanging the cabinets.
 |
| Low hanging light fixture looks strange for a living room.. but this will become the formal dining room. |
 |
| The sitting area of the new great room has lights and ceiling fans. |
 |
| The breakfast room has the light fixture. It's hanging a little low but we'll adjust it after we get the furniture in. There are three can lights along the red wall. The lights are not in yet however. |
 |
| Lots of light in the kitchen. In the great room, there will be 21 cans plus the breakfast room light fixture. There will be under-cabinet counter lighting as well. |
 |
| In the office, we have a 68-inch behemonth |
Kip and Andy got all but one base cabinet boxes assembled. Time to start assembling the wall cabinets and start hanging and installing the cabinets. The plumber needs to install the water and gas valves. Andy will then be able to bring back the range and dishwasher from storage. He will also need to install enough cabinets and a temporary plywood counter so we can be in business for the incoming Swiss.
 |
| Cabinets are coming along |
The painting of the outside has begun as well. Prep work started on Tuesday with power washing, caulking and painting of the doors
On Wednesday, the stair treads, railings and trim will be installed. Something else Andy has to paint/stain. More concrete work to extend the exposed aggregate pool deck and to grind high spots and float low spots in new foundation will be done. The painters will also continue to work on the outside. Andy will try to continue to assemble cabinets around all of this.
