Ductwork, Wires and Front Doors . . . Oh My!

There has been plenty of progress going on at the house . . . let me catch you up.

The ductwork was finished around Christmas and we passed the Mechanical Rough Inspection. Here’s some of the work.







The booster fan for our dryer exhaust.

The refrigerant and control lines that connect the air handler to the condensing unit.

This is where our condensing unit is going.

We finished running the electrical wire between the circuits. Then, we pulled all of the wire to the panels. There are two panels; the second one has a transfer switch that will be used for a future generator. We passed the electrical rough inspection last week! We still need to run the feeder wire from the meter to the panel, this should be done in the next week.

The wires are now pulled through the panels and ready for drywall.

The power.

Adam wired four copper grounding rods and drove them into the ground. These rods are connected to the electrical meter and panel to ground our house.

We installed the front door. This past weekend, we installed the trim around the front door and started on the siding on the front porch. It is wonderful to cover up the house wrap once and for all.

Doesn't it look great?! We still have to touch up the stain a bit and then put the clear coat on.



The curved trim is installed on the top of the door and the side trim was installed today (no pictures, sorry). The siding is up on half of the porch.

So . . . what do you think?

There are still some punch items on electrical that should be done in the next week. Then we have the framing inspection, followed by insulation and the insulation inspection. Then, it’s drywall. Adam is getting prices for drywall now and we expect it to go up in three weeks.
