Day 62: Trim Day 2, Siding and Air Conditioners

The siding has begun.  They were able to get the hardy plank over the garage done and most of the eaves and flashing installed on that side.  At this pace it is going to be a 8-10 day job.

The AC installer was in and put in our, AC compressors, thermostats, registers and bathroom vents.

The Gas company was out and installed the meter and gas line to the street.

Guardian was in and installed our cable and telephone jacks.

Finally, the trim duo was in and finished the kitchen, doors and window sills for most of the main floor.  They have two other jobs in the morning but will be back in the afternoon to get a half day working on our house.

The granite crew could measure for the kitchen and butler pantry but I'm not sure when they are scheduled.  Our PM is on vacation and the Asst PM is in training the rest of the week.  We have a back-up PM from another community but I don't have his number. :(

Electricians are supposed to be in Friday to do their final work.  Hopefully they fix the tray ceiling outlets so the trim crew can do their job.  I have a feeling this is going to become a punch list item.

We are still missing 3 counter tops and sinks.

The roofers haven't been back to roof the fireplace.  They will also need to do the gable returns when the siding crew is done.

Here are some pictures.

How cute...Mommy Bear and Baby Bear

Bathroom Vents Installed

This is in our Master Bath Tray Ceiling. There probably could have been a better
location for this then here.

 

Basement Thermostat Located and Installed
Interesting Observation.  We have 3 Thermostats, 1 per floor.
At 530pm they indicated the following:
2nd Floor - 81 degrees
1st Floor - 79 degrees
Basement - 69 degrees
I know where I'm spending my summers.

Cabinets installed and pulls installed... All Ready for Granite... :-)

Voila

Not as sexy as the islands in the other RH floor plans but it will do.

You can sort of see the Dinette and Kitchen size and proximity.
I wish there was an option to build this dinette as a large bay instead of
a flat pop out.
