Working on details...internal workings of our home

On Wednesday, December 29, Hans and I met with Dennis Johnston, our construction project manager and with the electrician, Terry.  We did a walk-through with the electrician determining where to put electrical outlets, light switches, overhead lights, vanity lights, outside lights, outside electrical outlets, etc.  Thank goodness Hans and I had done our homework and knew what we wanted and where we wanted everything.

Hans and Dennis did a walk-through of the plumbing lines and fireplaces.  Our fireplaces have been set in, with the flues set and fresh air intake pipes.  We discussed the stone that will go on the fireplace, setting the mantles that Hans has been creating and what are our next steps.

The drywall was being delivered on Wednesday, as we are getting our first deep snow and freeze, and it may be harder to get deliveries for the next week or so.

The foundation outside has been readied for the stucco.  Black tar paper and chicken wire are up and Hans and I have selected our stucco color.

We also were able to share our future home with dear friends Dan and Mary Lou Nichols.  This was our chance to show off our dream to friends who have been with us for over 25 years dreaming this with us.
