It has been raining cats and dogs almost everyday here, so as we walked up to our house yesterday evening we weren’t expecting too much to have been completed.  The first thing we noticed was that there was no longer a huge opening in the front of the house, rather our front doors had been installed. In fact, all the exterior doors had been installed including the kitchen and grand room sliders, master to lanai door, as well as the service door into the garage. The garage doors are the only doors that haven’t been installed and we told that those are one of the last things that are installed along with the garage door openers.

Another surprise to us were the wires dangling from the master bedroom ceiling especially since we were told that electrical would be started towards the end the week.  The roof waterproofing and shingles were to be installed early in the week, but because of all the rain, it was swapped with the electrical work. We walked around and took our time to figure out how we wanted our light switches mapped to various lights, fans and electrical sockets. Because of our open concept main floor, we don’t have many walls, so it was challenging finding a location for all our switches especially in the grand room and kitchen area. Our builder calls this our “switch board” for obvious reasons.

As we walked upstairs we saw that for the most part the electrical was close to completion on the second floor. A few of the upstairs windows still needed to be installed, but its getting there…
