HVAC and Brickwork and Status of Electric and Plumbing

The Plumbing has very little left to do before the rough-in inspection.  The Electric is in the same state.  And, we decided on a ductless heat pump system and the installation of that system is starting today.  It should take 3 days to do the rough-in.  Then, we should be ready for all of the inspections... by next week.
  















We decided to  use our antique tub in the new house.  Bill had to move a 'shower wall' an inch or two.  Also, in our standard bathroom, we had to chisel out a bit as the walls did not accommodate the standard tub, by about an inch.


 





 
 Meanwhile, Bill has started work, and progressed rather well, on the brick half wall between the living room and the kitchen.  He is using used brick that was here, some of which came from the old farmhouse that stood within 20 feet of where we are building.

 Exterior work is at a standstill.  Excavation is needed, and weather is wet. We need to caulk or at least look at the caulking that has been done.  And the garage needs caulk and paint and the trim around the garage door installed.
