They have installed (almost) all electrical systems.
Wall switches in place. We got to pick where we wanted them based on how we would walk into a room and reach for them. That's kind of fun.
All three bedrooms have four recessed lights and a center ceiling fan. We also made sure ALL closets have lights in them. The walk-in closet has them standard but none of the others. One thing we learned at our last house is that even the smallest closets are better when they are well lit. Nothing worse than trying to find something the in the back corner of the closet.
This is the panel where all the wi-fi and CAT6 lines terminate. It will also be where they put the termination point for the alarm system and exterior cameras. It will be easier to have it all in one spot.
We found a few spots where we wanted an outlet that we overlooked and so they marked the slab with the locations. We asked for two in the foyer and one more exterior outlet for my canning area.
Electrical for the a/c unit runs through the ceiling and down the wall of the closet to the exterior.
It's nice to have photos (we have dozens more) to see where all the wiring will be so that we will know where all the wiring runs. We'll never have to worry about where to hammer a nail.
In the garage, in addition to regular 110V outlets around, we are also "future proofing" the house by having 220V outlets put in for Level 2 electric car charging. One on 2nd Man's side...
...and one on my side. If we ever end up with an electric car or a hybrid or even if we sell someday, it's ready for electric car charging. We figured it was easier (and cheaper) to do it now.
Oh and here is the pantry....the white box is where the countertop and lower cabinets will be for 2nd Man's mixer and baking center so we made sure to put outlets on each side. There are also outlets along the wall on each side below where the bottom shelves of the pantry will be so that we can plug in things as needed. You can never have too many outlets!
Almost all of the wiring in the house runs to here...where it goes outside into the main circuit breaker box. Mental note: DO NOT NAIL INTO THIS SPOT! 😬, ha! Actually, they will put a metal plate over all this, so no worries there.
They have to put in the outlets we requested and then they will have a third party inspection and it will be done. Next up...EXTERIOR PAINTING!

ReplyDeleteI can't believe how fast it's moving towards completion!!
ReplyDeleteI am so excited every day I see you have a post. This house is going up so fast and everything you want is being done. Great builders. Is this company a large company out there or just a custom builder that does one house at a time?
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing worse than too few outlets! You are covered. PP
ReplyDeleteIt all looks so complicated but comes together so perfectly! 🤞⬅️fingers crossed!
