This truly does feel like a labout of love tonight.....have been meaning to update the blog the last 2 nights but have bottled out due to exhaustion. Ian is getting impatient for updates (which I quite understand) so despite feeling really tired and having a 8-9 hour drive to North Carolina tomorrow I kind of feel obliged to get this update done. So with out more ado..here goes.
What has been happening since the last update? The main action has been that the 2 drainage pits have been excavated,lined,pipes installed inspected , refilled with stone and dirt. This work really has hindered other work as the driveway became inmpassable with stone and piles of earth,
Electrical work, including installation of the recessed lights and exterior sockets/outlets; plumbing; heating and air conditioning systems have all but been installed. Siding began again today with the sides of all the dormer windows now clad. The siding installation will be completed tomorrow. Stucco should start next week.
Besides work at the house several more hours have gone in to lighting ad ceiling fan fixture selection, cabinetry hardware final choices etc etc. The list of selections seems endless!
Ian made the decision to go ahead with prewiring for an audio system..so before the dry walling happens in about 3 weeks the audio and security wiring, phone cabling, central vac and wiring for holiday lights have to be installed. At that stage (priort to drywalling)the next set of inspections have to happen.
Anyway I am truly runing out of steam here..and the eyelids are feeling very heavy..so "Good Night!"
