Middle of a big week

This is a big week for the project. First, electrical is ready for inspection. I ordered the tile on Monday and it should arrive next week. That put a dent in my credit card.

Next I ordered the doors on Tuesday. Unfortunately they are much more expensive than I thought. Due to the ceiling height and existing conditions I had to order mostly custom doors. That put a nice dent in my budget. I also have to modify some framing in order to squeeze in some standard doors. Not sure when I am going to do this... I also learned that custom doors have a 3 - 5 week lead time. Not too happy about that but there is nothing I can do about it.

Insulation got installed today. It was well worth it to hire someone for this. Very inexpensive and they were done in 3 hours. I got them started and then headed to work. Yes mom, I did let these people in my house while I was alone and I do not know them. I had to go to work.

Tomorrow I planned 6 inspections. Building insulation & close in. Electrical rough in & close in. Plumbing rough in & close in. Hopefully the inspectors are having a good day... because they usually don't want to do the close in and rough in at the same time especially when there is insulation in the way. I am HOPING this goes well because I have drywall scheduled for Saturday.



This was unexpected... more holes, more dust, more mess

Mystery wires... where do they go? Why are they hot?

Insulation of the exterior wall.

Jam packed around all the pipes. These guys did a good job.

Sound insulation in the ceiling.

Like I said... big week.

Lets hope the inspections go well tomorrow!
