Electrical, Low Voltage & Plumbing DONE

Rough-in for electrical, low voltage & plumbing is finally DONE! This has been a ton of work for everyone involved, and they all did a *great* job. We threw a lot of changes at these guys & made a lot of last minute decisions too. Inspections are signed off for electrical & low voltage, with plumbing tomorrow. Shear nail (exterior sheathing, etc.) inspection flagged a couple minor issues that are actually not issues - just needs engineer sign off. Oh - they also finished setting the retaining wall too...

Here's some pics of this stuff before it all gets covered up:


Main panels in upper garage. The generator hookup is the white box at bottom left. We are told that power doesn't go out that often, but if it does, this will make things easy.



Plastic hot & cold water running from the main entry to the house, under the stairs.



Its pretty tight down in the office bathroom, but Jerry made it all work. Its all coming up out of concrete too, so there's no wiggle room.



Double shower heads in the master bath...


Coming up next is exterior siding, interior foam insulation & sheetrock.

Cabinet drawings are ready for us to review, electricity is hooked up & we've chosen most interior surfaces. This thing is coming down to the finishing-out stage with about 2 months to go!
