Walkthrough, etc.

We did the walkthrough on Monday and everything looked good. There were a few things that needed to be addressed, but they were all minor.

We get the keys tomorrow and start the moving process. We will likely sleep there Friday night.

Not Much

We went over yesterday and they hadn't really done much. The painter finished the little things, and I think they capped off the central vac ports. They still have a lot to do: insulate and put vapour barrier on the entire basement, rough in the central vac to the garage, clean the entire place, install the microwave, fix the issue with the hole in the cold cellar being too close to the gas meter (less than 3 feet - duh, parging on the foundation, place all the vents, and probably a few other things that we haven't noticed.

Almost ready




Today they installed most of the carpet and the rest of the lights. The lights were working which made it a lot easier to get around.

No pictures (forgot the camera today) but...

The plumber was in today and installed all the toilets, sinks and fixtures, and the water's on. The siding is done and the gas roughins are complete (range and dryer). I didn't notice the one for the bbq, but I did see the cutoff in the basement for it.
The microwave has arrived. At the house, the insulation truck was there to fill the attic, the bricklayers put the final stone below the front door, the siding guy has placed the pillars and is almost done all the siding.

We noticed that he was putting the pillars in the wrong place. Apparently he wasn't told that we wanted one less pillar, so he was going by the original plan. Good thing I was there to tell him otherwise. Sheesh.
