Electrical Work / Carpet / Vinyl

The rest of this week actually produced some progress, but as has been the case for over a month, the electrician has made things so frustrating.

Across Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, the electrician was out to finish the job that should have been finished a month ago.  We had a checklist for him and he got most of it done.  All exterior lights were installed, as were all of the light switches throughout the main floors.  Issues with lights not working were resolved and the microwave drawer outlet was hooked up as well.  Thankfully, all of the basement lights and switches were hooked up as well.  Fantastic!  The basement doesn't seem so disgustingly creepy anymore and I also have a bunch of outlets above my network cabinet.  Actually, I have more than I need, but I'll take them.

Even after three days, though, not everything is done.  They have a few more minor things to complete and to get their shit out of my house.  Also, the put in a normal outlet behind the stove, despite knowing we need a dedicated 220 line with four-prong outlet.


DAY 134

The vinyl guys worked all day and got the master bathroom, main bathroom and laundry room completed.  Frankly, I despise the look of vinyl and think it all looks like crap.  Maybe once it's cleaned up, it'll look better.  Side note- CLEAN UP AFTER YOU WORK IN ANOTHER PERSON'S HOME!!!

The closet guys were also out to finish the shelving and put up the mirrors.


The brown floor does not work with the white and black vanity.  Crap.




DAY 135

On Thursday, the carpet guys were in to their thing.  They were awesome and got everything done super fast.  No complaints.  They put the extra carpet we were supposed to have in the family room and sun room in the garage.  We will probably use it in the basement or on the basement steps.  I so want to just vacuum the carpet right now, but we're very happy with the results.  The house is almost done!!!

Also, on Thursday, I got a hired for a new teaching gig, so suck it universe.

The geek room is going to be so sick once everything is in here.  I can't wait.




Our bed was delivered on Friday.  I'm tired of delaying things.
