WE HAVE ELECTRIC

IT'S ABOUT EFFING TIME

The permanent electric was hooked up this morning and everything is back on track.  Jace said that the excavator would be out tomorrow to do some work, the electrician would be back Monday (he better be) to finish putting in the outlets and lights, then carpet/floor the next day, plumbing the next and if we are lucky, we will have our walk-through on Friday.  It's a big "if", but nice to hear.

I also spoke with Jace about a few of our issues:

- He looked into getting us an external garage door keylock, but I guess the company they go through only provides locks that automatically lock every time the door is closed.  So, even with an electrical door opener, the thing would lock and we would have to manually unlock it every single time we wanted it open.  No thanks.  We opted out of that.

- We are getting a credit for one light outside of our front door that wasn't installed.

Other notes we need to address:

- The front pillars still aren't on and one of them sitting in our garage is broken.

- We still need all of our basement lights and outlets run, let alone installed.  We also need a light, outlet and hose bib outside of the basement access doors.

Becky and I walked through the house at night just now to see what it looked like with lights on.  It was actually kind of creepy and we didn't want to be there.  Maybe it's because the house is vast and cold still, but it just felt scary.

DAY 130

Box hooked up and conduit on the left for future lines (Internet).


You can't see them for anything, but those lights are red and look great.

The AC was turned on to get some airflow and cool down the basement a tad.

  1. Glad to hear you're moving along again.
    It gets frustrating for sure. Not just because you get anxious as you get closer, but because you can't get any answers and are left in the dark alot.
