Today Filipe came back real early to redo the one hall ceiling framing. We were able to get the ceiling about 4 inches higher. I'm definitely happy with the fix. There will probably be a few little box outs where I have one radiator line and at the AC condenser line. I can live with that.
Next Jason came to start all the electrical work. The recessed fixtures I purchased were much larger than expected. There were 4 locations where they did not fit. Yet again I had to shut the water off and move more pipes, adjust framing and move some more pipe to get 3 of them to fit. The fixture over the shower was not going to fit no matter what. I ended up purchasing a small renovation recessed fixture which has a much smaller housing and that should do the trick.
Most of the recessed fixtures are roughed in and some wiring is done. Jason is going to do most of the electrical while I am at work tomorrow.
This was an easy one.
Here are the new fixtures in the bedroom ceiling.
How is the insulation supposed to fit with all this shit up in the ceiling?????
While Jason was doing some of the electrical work I started to run the exhaust ducts for the bathroom fan and for the laundry. Both vents have to run a long way. The flex duct is real easy, but the hard duct is a huge pain in the ass. I needed to get the ducts at least into the back room so that next weekend the drywall can go up. I'll deal with the rest of the runs later.
Still shooting for insulation on Wednesday and inspections Thursday. This week I'm going to place the tile order and I need to get the carpet order in as well as doors. I am expecting a door quote tomorrow. I have a feeling the doors are going to be a lot more expensive than I thought because they are all custom height. I'll find out tomorrow.
