Pretty quiet day. No sparky; only a few carpenters working on the siding. Hopefully they will be finished all they can tomorrow (they can't do the other side because they are waiting for the window and doors to arrive.
Got a quote for the mantelpiece.. $3700. You'd think it was made of gold. But no, just cherry.
The electricians seem to have disconnected the power socket Russ' piano uses.. so he's using a power cord.
The carpenters put up the 'pony wall' that would be used to support the Island. The supports went through the floor to the subfloor. Jason climbed on it this evening, and it was rock solid :-)
An insulation contractor came.. wasn't impressed. He was quick and messy.. left fibreglass insulation tufts all over the place. I had to go through and sweep up. Our contractors workers saw, and were horrified, so they helped clean up the rest. The insulation contractor was not great.
Spent a long time pulling nails and other sundry items out of the planters along the walkway today. Looks much better now.
Our contractor didn't like the low voltage guys had not removed some unused phone and cable cables in the floor.. he called them and asked them to pull up all the old ones.
I also spoke to the contractor about a portico-like structure at the entryway for the french doors.. so if its raining you can stand under there while opening the door. Wonder what that will cost?
Also looking at cabinet pulls.. want to order them so they're here before they're needed :-)
