Inside job

Exterior ready for paint.

The exterior is deceptive because it appears to be a "finished house". Aw but not so. Now the detail work begins by running water, gas, sewer, heating and cooling plus all the electrical lines. Because we already have a garage and don't plan to build a new one for a while, the heating, cooling units, hot water heater and all other mechanical control points will be in a "mechanical room" on the second floor. I will take pictures as it develops. For today, the fireplace was installed. The water line has been trenched from our pump house (we have a well) and the plumbing lines are in. Any questions? The electrician will be out Monday to walk through the house with me to mark outlets in the walls and any fixtures that will be hung on walls, ceilings and outside. It is fun to just add lights everywhere but the electrician charges by the outlet and fixtures are expensive. Currently we have a solar entry gate and solar lights on all the gate posts along the road. I am very inclined to use solar lighting outside, no electric lines to run and no additions to the electric bill.
We are still a couple of months from moving in and I am very excited.
