The inspections begin

The electrical inspection is happening today and the framing and HVAC inspection happens tomorrow.  After that we can start insulating and closing up the walls.  Then the sheet rock, then texturing, then painting.  At the same time the upstairs bathroom will be getting tiled now that the heating elements have been sealed.

The tile will go on top of this base and with the flip of a switch (and a few minutes) it will be nice and warm.  I think we can even put this on a timer.



The factory ship date for the kitchen cabinets was moved up significantly from 3/15 to 2/24!  Shenendoah really came through on this.  The appliances arrive on 3/4 so it's still looking really good for an early March move in for us.

This weekend the boys are going to start cleaning up the old frig.  Once we verify that it's in working order we'll call PSE to come and recycle it.  The other appliances we'll either take to Value Village or the dump.  Then we'll have the garage cleaned out for the deliveries of cabinets and appliances.  The next thing on the list is to pick out the bathroom and kitchen fixtures - towel racks, drawer pulls, cabinet handles etc.  At least with all the recessed lighting we don't have to pick out light fixtures - at least I don't think we do.

Now I have to get the receipts together to submit to the bank for the next disbursement.
