Electrical Is Done!

After a month of mundane electrical work, the rough electrical and plumbing has passed inspection. The Jennair range is here, the downdraft vent is installed. All of the can lights are wired in. There are 220 heaters in the bathroom and the living room. There is a dedicated circuit for the microwave and one for the fridge. Ed changed out the main electrical panel. Outside lights are wired in, even out on the tiny patio. The State inspector said it all looks good. The County inspector signed off on the rough plumbing.

Now the fun stuff starts. This is where a week-end's work really shows some visual results. Once we start with the insulation and the sheetrock, we can get that last window in and ..EEEEEKKK

aaah.. the sound of brakes!

Ed has already planted over 50 spruce seedlings this year, and has about 100 more trees to go..hemlock, cedar and pines. I ordered 50 maple seedlings, so that's my project. Those all need to go in before warm weather hits..I think we're covered there. Yesterday Ed spent most of the day with Darin and his assistants from the Water Conservation District, while they surveyed our creekbed, for some bank restoration work.

I'm pretty sure Ed said he wanted to do some of the outside trim work..soffits? ..before he started with the insulation and sheetrock.

One step at a time, and all in the right order. It's hard to visualize actually moving into the studio apartment, much less the finished house. All in due time.
