Working on the Final Punch List

In the final press to get things ready for inspection, I drove up to the KnArrow Haus Thursday evening. Worked until 11 PM. Did office work using a hotspot Friday, then knocked off about 4 PM and worked the rest of the evening. Then worked all day Saturday. Katie and Mackenley arrived Friday evening, and Abbie and Colin arrived Friday night. A full crew.

Got the main floor ventilation pipe routed through the kitchen wall with Colin's help.

This is the vent pipe for the kitchen hood. Still devising
precisely how I want to connect the range vent hood.

The family room sconces arrived. Of course, I mounted them vertically...at which point
Katie informed me they were supposed to mounted horizontally. <grumble>

The stair railings are my final nemisis: They're fighting me the entire way. So much work. 

After I drilled one hundred ninteen 3/8" holes through 3/16" thick angle iron, I attempted to install the stainless steel cabling and discovered the swaging tool I bought 2 years ago doesn't have a die that's the right size... <ugh>  

I'm trying to hunt down the right swaging die/tool so I can finish these up this coming week. (If you want a good core workout, try drilling holes through angle iron while sitting on a stairs. Four hours. Very sore.)

One hundred ninteen 3/8" holes in the landing and stair posts.

Just marking the hole locations on blue tape took 2 hours.

Swage turnbuckles and termination fittings for the 3/16" stainless cable.

The 3/16" stainless cable has been sitting in the basement for 2 years.

The new platform bed in the matster bedroom.

After browsing online through thousands of beds, we finally found the one we wanted AND could afford at Moe's in Bellevue. We found a ton of queen size beds, none of which were available in king size. What's up with that?! We also found a bunch of beds we liked that were outlandishly expensive. Finally, I stumbled on this one. So nice when a quest comes to an end.

I have to say the Purple mattress feels much better now that it's off the concrete floor.

Hoping to call for final inspections this week. Just need to finish up the railings and a few miscellaneous electrical covers.
