Well, Week 3 of this project was frustrating.<\/p>\n
We knew that our general contractor would be on vacation out of town this week. But he had lined up plumbing and electrical rough-ins to take place in his absence, so while we weren’t expecting much to happen, at least that would be done.<\/p>\n
The plumbing rough-in was maybe 60% done a week ago Friday, as I posted. And they did come back and almost finish this week — there are stubs for the two under-cabinet kickspace heaters in place now. But as far as I can tell, the rough-in for the 2 traditional baseboard heaters isn’t done. I don’t know. It’s possible that can’t happen until the finish floor is in, or there’s no real rough-in to be done because the heating pipe is already in the right spot. Or it could be that due to lack of direction they just didn’t want to do the wrong thing.<\/p>\n
The electrical rough-in was supposed to happen this week too. But the electrician showed up and noted that the framing to lower the ceiling in the old-sunroom part of the kitchen is not in place yet, and this is where he needs to run a good portion of his wiring. There are things he could have done, but he wants to do the whole thing in one shot, which is understandable. So he left to do another job and will return at a future date when the framing’s actually done.<\/p>\n
We do finally have the completed plans and price for the 3-season room portion, which we need to review and get back to them on today. And we ordered & received the pendant lights (well, 1 is still in transit). But in all, as far as material progress toward completion, it’s as if this week didn’t exist.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
