Electrical & Plumbing Top Out






Thursday the electricians began to wire the house while John & Bert finished up all of the remaining blocking and hold downs. Friday the electricians worked all day and the boys from BC Plumbing finished up the plumbing rough-in. John and Bert removed the staging and John paid his son and a group of neighborhood boys to pick up all the loose wood scraps from the footing trenches and from around the house.
I hired Eric, from Stayton Heating to install the vent for my boiler. He bid all the vents including the two gas heaters, the kitchen cooktop vent, the dryer vent and the gas supply manifold line. Lynna likes the job he did in her laundry room.
I called late Friday and scheduled plumbing & electrical inspections for Tuesday as the plumbers are done and the electricians say they will finish up Monday. The house was in a mess with deep sawdust piles in the entry, dining room and kitchen. There were scraps of wiring everywhere along with a few pieces of ABS plumbing pipe. I worked Saturday & Sunday to clean dup most of the loose stuff. It filled two trash cans. At least now I can run the shop vac when the electricians finish their work Monday, probably will be another mess by the end of the day.
