Plumbing & Electrical

Today was a VERY big day at the lake!  The plumbing and electrical final inspections were completed and they both passed with minor changes.  The mechanical final passed earlier this spring, so that means all of the state inspections are done.  Since there are no stickers or markings for the final inspections, I figured I would include a picture of the lake. :)

Bedroom Furnature

Sometime last year we bought a bedroom set from a friend of a friend and its been sitting in the garage waiting for the cabin to be finished.  Today, I finally got it all put together.  It's a bit of a tight fit, but it should work well.  It doesn't really go with the floor very well, so we may take it apart and spray it white when we do the girls bed this spring.

Flooring

The vinyl flooring in the girls bedroom is done.  That means all the vinyl floor is complete!  The only thing left to do on the floor is to paint/stain the piece under the water heater. 

Today I'll work on the minor changes required for the electrical final.  The electrical and plumbing finals should be this week.

Kitchen

The kitchen is now totally functional.  The plumbing under the sink is complete and the dishwasher is all hooked up.  In fact, the dishes have all been washed and put in the cupboards.  I'm sure Kelly will move them around, but we don't have to eat off paper plates and drink out of plastic cups any more!

Granite Counter Tops

The granite counter tops were installed today!  We went with a place called Crafted Stone and they did a great job for a good price.  They were very professional and easy to work with.  We also had them do matching counters in the utility room and the bathroom.  Next up is to get the sinks and drains finished so we can have the plumbing final inspection done.

Bookshelves

After work I stopped at Home Depot and picked up a couple sheets of 1/2" paint grade plywood and built the cabinets for the bookshelves.  I took my pancake compressor up there only to find out the hose was rotten, so I was not able to nail the boards in yet.  That actually turned out to be a good thing.  Now I can take it all back out and paint everything before nailing it in.

Kitchen

The dishwasher is now installed and the electrical is hooked up.  The supply and drain lines are also run into the sink base, but I can't hook them up until the counter tops are on and the sink is set for real.  With any luck that will be this week.

All the electrical in the house is done and ready for final inspection, Tuesday!

Flooring

I went up to the cabin and got some more work done on the floor.  I started with getting the screws in the underlayment finished and then put down the floor covering.  The only place left now is the girls bedroom, but we have to move all the junk out of there first.  There are not many screws left to do in there, so it should not take long to finish their room.

Flooring

The flooring in the bathroom is done and the toilet is set.  We have a granite counter for the bathroom, but we have to wait until the final plumbing inspection is finished before installing it.  We don't have enough clearance between the toilet and the vanity to have an overhang.  So after the inspection, I'll take this top off and put the granite top on.

Doors

After work I got the floor through the doorways and installed the three prehung doors to the bathroom and bedrooms.  I used EZ-Hang door hangers for the first time.  WOW those make hanging doors easy!  I still need to finish the floor in each of the 3 rooms and I plan to start with the bathroom next.
