Inspections, Inspections, Inspections!
We're waiting on a re-inspection of the electrical, after an unfortunate confluence of events that prevented passing inspection previously. The electrician failed to realize that the electrical inspector was going to have to sign off on the low voltage wiring that Sean has been doing himself, despite the fact that it was under a completely separate permit. Oh well! Hopefully all of that will be taken care of by the end of the day today. Sean is working his heart out to get all of that done before he leaves for China this Sunday. By the time he gets back, there should be drywall!!! (Fingers crossed!)

Sean is a very scary monster-man!
Here is an amusing photo of Sean powerwashing our cruddy basement:
He worked so hard! It was a really disgusting job, and I am grateful I had nothing whatsoever to do with it!
In other news, Sean is working hard again today. He is roughing in all of our low-voltage hi-tech house stuff (intercoms, whole-house audio, computer and cable and tv, oh my!). I am tremendously glad that he knows how to do it because it is VERY expensive to have it done for you. In other happy news, we met some prospective buyers of one of the vacant properties on the block today. A lovely couple who seemed unphased by the insanity of the scope of the project. We'll be keeping our fingers crossed!!
We're getting close to a dry wall installation! It's all very exciting! Let's all keep our fingers crossed for the placement of a window order by next Tuesday!

Totally tub-ular!
Our tubs our in their respective places (FINALLY!) and our framers have built the decks around them.
Check it out - here's our master tub:
And here's the middle bathroom tub:
Our mechanical rough in is done! So we have our vents and bulkheads! Here's a sample from the master bedroom (you can see the top of the window behind the plywood board there....that's the window that facilitated the New Year's break-in. It's more secure now!):
Our electrical rough in started yesterday, and today, Sean is power washing the basement. Pictures of his protective gear/halloween constume to come shortly!!
