Guest House Construction: Part 30

Guest House Construction: Part 30

Super short blog because I sadly don't have much to report this week.  For one thing, July 4th fell on Tuesday and no one worked then or Monday.  It's not a surprise that no one showed up on a holiday, but you never know really - they were working here on Thanksgiving last year.

Later in the week a couple things got taken care of.  A pad was built for our AC compressors.  Because we're in the windstorm zone, you have to pour these by code instead of using the pre-fab ones.  Easy enough job I guess.  

It got done, and now we are ready for the HVAC system to be finished up....except there's no gas line to the house yet. It was supposed to get completed last week, but our builder didn't get to it and this week seems like it's going to be a rainy mess.  That's why it hurts so much to put things off just because you don't have to have them done right then.  Who knows when it will be dry enough to complete the line now.

One bit of progress was that the plumbers came back out and I believe finished up all their work. They installed the last of the fixtures (like our garage bath sink) and fixed a few leaks and checked everything. Should be good there.

They also installed the range and dishwasher.  It's starting to look like a house. The electricians came out again and worked, but still didn't quite finish everything.  

At this point my contributions are somewhat limited. I mainly write checks and occasionally get to pick something out, like sconce covers!  The weather doesn't look good this coming week and we still have to survive...."The Trim Guy!!!" Hopefully he shows...and stays long enough to get some things done.
