Day 73: Trim Day 8, More Painting and Electrical

Trim:
The trim carpenters were back in to finish odds and ends.  They installed the paneling in the dining room, finished up the baseboard, installed the last hand stair rail and were installing the columns in the bath room when I went by.  They had missed the picture box above the fireplace but I found the print for them, so they may install that before they leave.  They normally install all the door handles but this may end up being one of the RH finish guys that does this.

They will have more work to do down the road but are still waiting on parts and other trades.  So back to the Jefferson Square model they go...

Painting:
The painters were pretty much following the trim carpenters puddying nail holes and painting the various pieces.  It's starting to look like a finished house.  Wow, how quick it starts to come together.

So now the stainer can come in and finish his job.

Electrical:
Nearly all the electrical was done yesterday but I didn't stay long enough to get pictures of it all.

Here are the latest pictures...

Dinette Chandelier - Glad I had them move it about 12-15" to the left.

All the outlets and switches are in...oh, and they work.

Love all the recessed lights in the kitchen.

Placeholder lights until our ceiling fans come in

Grouted tile

Basement lights. We were told these would match the rest of our lighting package.
We had to cough up another $275 for a basement vanity, they said
its "all or nothing" wit the lighting. Not sure if this is a mistake or
they break the rules when it is convenient for them.

Storage Area. First time I've seen it with lights on.

Water Softener Rough-in. Note, the outlet was not included in the price.
We had to add this outlet.

Future site of our media room. Couldn't get the whole room in the shot.

Basement finally lit up

There is lots of light down here. I was worried about that.

Close up of Garage Coach Lights

Close up of Porch Light

Final Direct Set Hand Rail and Balusters Installed.

Last bit of chair rail installed on stairs

Paneling around dining room

Having this register in the wall is less than ideal but will be covered with
a buffet or some piece of furniture.
