Major Milestone...

Its been a few days since Ive posted and a lot has been going on. Im not sure I want to write much, but heres whats been going down -

Received Window Delivery
Window Installation Begins
Electrical Rough Inspection is ready
Plumbing Rough Inspections is ready
...more window installations....

So the windows have been one of the items we have been waiting for and they finally arrived. We are expecting this to be done this week and once it is completed, then the next steps begin.

From my recollection of timing of events, the Windows was a huge item we had to wait on in order to move forward with our rough inspections from the city. Here is a quick sequence of tasks from this day forward:

Finalize window install
Rough inspections (windows, electrical, plumbing, etc)
Get approval to ceil walls and move the to next steps...
Insulation Installations (Exterior walls and ceiling)
Sheet Rock/Mud
Smooth all walls (remove current texturing) and patch any openings from electrical work
Move forward with electrical in all other rooms other than Kitchen and Bathroom

Here are some pics of the events that have occurred in the last few days.

Windows arrived...and its raining! 

Some of our windows

New Rear Door for new opening

Master Bedroom Window area - reframed 

Removing Stucco - remember, we did New Construction Windows, not inserts. This ensure proper fit and a leak proof installation. No risks taken with water damage for new windows.

I got bored, so I mounted our Temp control for our new Water Heater. Its in the crawl space - sort of a set it and forget it device, so no need for it to be anywhere inside the house. Its nice that we can control water temperature through this...basically set what we want max temps to be when using hot water.

Shot from the deck - all new windows installed and new doorway to kitchen.

Its looking beat up - but the transformation is taking shape.

Finally decided to slap the signage for JBT on the lawn. Now that it sounds like and looks like we are getting some major major work done.
