Wires, wires, everywhere
The builders have done a lot this week! Today was my first time out to the house since the weekend. It looks like they’ve finished all the plumbing – everything looks ready for installation of sinks & toilets. They are working hard on wiring now. All the rooms have switch boxes and outlet boxes, and boxes in the ceilings and bathrooms for lights. The washer and dryer hookups are installed. There are wires running everywhere through the walls, in the attic…what a mess! Glad I’m not an electrician, I’d be so confused.
From our construction task completion list, looks like once they finish the plumbing and electric rough-ins, insulation and drywall are next! Woohoo!!
They still haven’t started on the bricks. Don’t know if that’s because of our crazy weather lately or that they just delivered them way early.

Now is the time to be taking the documentation pictures for future reference. You will want to know what walls have what wires where. Believe me you will want to have these, and they will be invaluable down the road. Print them and put them in a binder or in a safe place because we all know what happens to computers and hard drives. You will thank me.

Yeah, I only put about a 1/3 of the wiring pictures online…figured people would get really bored. I plan on taking a lot more, lots of each room. Good idea about printing them. Thanks.
