OK, we have just spent the last four days on electrical. I put TONS of outlets in even in the closets. I put Phone, Ethernet and cable in every bedroom and in two spots in the living room depending on what side of the fireplace we want a TV in the future. There is a phone jack in the master potty and central vac dust pans in every bathroom and mudroom so we can just sweep dirt and hair into them and not have to bend down and balance a dust pan. I am having the electrician come back Monday and wire the west windows (all 10) of the living room for electric shades. We also put a PVC pipe behind the fireplace so that if we’ve missed anything we can shoot the wires from one side of the fireplace to another behind there. We even added an extra sub panel since the big one was completely full. Dad had his favorite security team come out and wire for smoke/heat sensors and laser beams. That way if the house catches on fire while we’re out of town the central office will call the fire department. They insulate Tuesday with the foam and Sheetrock starts Wednesday! I picked out a storm door today (we have to have those in Iowa you know). The flooring schedule starts June 2nd. So we are almost to the pretty stuff. We need to go over and vacuum what we don’t want in the insulation. The electrician picked up but we can do a better job. Hope all is well, Em
