Another post

I have been so swamped with wiring that I haven't had time to take photos or post updates.  Ended a bit early tonight so here ya go.

Both wiring and plumbing are nearly complete.  Lots of other tasks left to be done though.

Did a new walkthrough video: https://youtu.be/t8pkIVmOVdI

1st floor wiring progress

Lots of progress with the first floor wiring.  At this rate we will be done much quicker than the 2nd floor.

This is a photo of the kitchen space.

2nd floor AC unit

Got the rest of the 2nd floor heat pump system installed today and all upstairs ductwork completed.  They also installed the condenser (exterior unit) outside and shifted over our existing unit.  The new unit is so small!

Also Dad helped rebuild a section of exterior wall/window frame that had major termite damage. Thanks also to Mom for help with cleanup work.  Excellent work!


Old unit is in the foreground, the small darker gray unit is the new 2nd floor unit.


Finally, noticed that the Hostas that were moved to next to the fence last year have come back all on their own despite being covered in backfill for months.  Interesting how they broke through the ground.  Nature always finds a way!

2nd floor wiring nearly complete!


I am pretty sure all of the 2nd floor circuits are in place in the box now.  Just have a few loose ends to tie up and then we can move down to the 1st floor.



Today the plumbers installed the upstairs hall/shared bathroom bathtub.  We still need to build the wall on the end.

Windows and wiring

Family room windows got installed yesterday.  Glad to finally have that space enclosed.  We will soon be purchasing the exterior door.  One of the kitchen windows is in but the other was only ordered recently so will be in in a week or two.
Also making good progress on the wiring upstairs.  Recessed lights and ceiling fan boxes going in.  Today Kim and I will be doing wiring for the wall outlets upstairs.
