I started installing the electrical roughin boxes today. So gratifying to finally be working on the interior after spending most of 2018 on the exterior.
Most of the boxes are installed in the basement and mudroom. And I made a dent in the kitchen, main floor, and upstairs. I need to lock down our kitchen plan before I can located the rest of the boxes along the kitchen wall. Intsalling the power boxes made it painfully apparent that we need to clear all the cruft away from the walls.
I also finished up the railing bars on the back deck and front porch. I've been planning to put stainless steel cable between the posts, but I'm starting to rethink that, to at least get something up that's not unsightly, passes code, and is a lot less effort.
9 hour day, arriving at 10 am and departing at 7 pm. My feet hurt.
During the week I filed a letter with the county for "Alternate Means and Methods" so that I can run one of my vent plumbing stacks out the wall and terminate it on the wall, 10 feet below the soffit instead of running it through the roof. The county uses the 2015 International Plumbing Code (IPC), which allows for the use of air admittance valves (often refered to as Studor Vents), but only if one vent stack vents to the outside. Crossing my fingers. Here's the isometric drawing of the plumbing system that I had to do as part of the letter.
