Today Keith the electrician built the new electric service boxes and hooked up the HVAC units, the garage, the pool pump, the driveway gate, and a few outlets in the house. The 220 circuit breaker panel is on the rear of the garage, while the 110 circuit breaker subpanel will be in the utility room.
The trench in the above photo is for the propane line. (We'll be dropping a propane tank next to the woods behind Garrett.) We'll only be using propane for the cooktop, but also will run a stub line to the back of the patio for a future bbq location and we ran a line to the dryer in case we ever use gas. Our roofers built a custom enclosure for our exhaust fan and installed that on the roof today. (We went with a roof-mounted exhaust fan to avoid noise in the kitchen.) That was the last piece of metal flashing to go on the roof, so now we are ready to paint it all to match the shingles.
Gratuitous kitchen cabinet photos, after an oil based stain, sanding sealer, and two lacquer coats for a catalyzed top coat finish. (The vent hood was sent back to correct construction defects.)
Tommy and crew also began staining windows and doors today. Here is one of the interior doors after staining, but before sealing and lacquer.
And a window, also after stain only.
And the front door, stain only. We went with a darker color for the front door and frame, which is solid mahogany.
