Day 244 - pot lights

Saga of the pot lights

We have a lot of pot lights in our house, Candice Olson would be proud! We have pot lights in the dining room, in the hallway (or the "gallery" as it is called on some plans!), in the kitchen, in the bathroom (shower light), a few in the master bedroom, and of course in the great room.

This story is about the pot lights in the great room.

The great room is planned to have 6 pot lights in total - 4 in the "corners" of the room, and two to accent the front corners of the fireplace. Unfortunately, one of the pot lights on the fireplace is in the wrong place, which means it will need to moved over a little bit, which then forces the 2 adjacent pots to be moved.

In other news, the electrical work will be completed tomorrow, and an inspection for the electrical and the framing (roof trusses) is requested for Friday. As soon as the inspectors come, then the crew will start installing the vapour barrier and the strapping for the drywall.

The plumber will also come out on Friday and complete the roughin. I need to get the fitting for the "utility tub" in the laundry room so it can be plumbed in. Also, the HVAC guys will come and complete their ventilation installation.

The fireplace installation is complete, but they put the wrong cap on the chimney, Charles says it is crooked. Since it's been getting dark when I was on my way out there I didn't see it so will have to call them tomorrow about that.

I am waiting for the networking and security installation people to confirm the installation date.

Insulators are booked for Monday. Then we will need an inspection for that (Tuesday) and an air test (Tuesday).

Drywall could start Wednesday, but we are still waiting for their quotes. I guess it will be hard for that to be completed by Friday. Charles said, with a wry grin, that he thought that was "a bit of a stretch".

The aluminum soffit and fascia installation will start next Friday. Once that gets started, the garage doors can be installed. I sincerely hope we can get the garage doors installed before Christmas.
