House remodel is going well but not done yet. All the structural work is done, Nearly all the electrical and plumbing is done. The kitchen is mostly all together and only one final building inspection left to pass. The french drain is no closer to being done though.
What's left to do with the electrical is one ceiling lighting circuit to replace and the kitchen island to wire. The island will have the dishwasher, disposal, and two outlets. The ceiling light circuit already has a new cable ran but it's not connected to anything yet. That will remove the last knob and tube wiring in the house. Oh, and PG&E still needs to do their part in moving the meter to the new service and transferring the overhead wiring to the new weather head. When done there will only be three circuits in the house using older romex wiring. Everything else will be new.
On the plumbing front, all that's left is connecting the island and only the main bath will be using the old galvanized pipe. That will be a future project which will be a lot easier to get done since I've installed ball valves that isolate it from the new plumbing. We can't do it now because of all the stuff we moved to make room to do all the rest.
In the kitchen, the new floor is done, the ceiling is finished which incorporates twelve LED light cans and a new venting skylight, the custom built cabinets are installed, and the fridge, range, and hood are installed. We still need to paint the walls but before that the old wainscoting needs some restoration. The counters and back splash still need to be done, as well as the under cabinet LED light strips. Most of the outlets also need to have the final 20 amp tamper proof and GFI receptacles put in. Right now they are using temporary old ones that the dry wall mudders could mess up all they wanted. Aso the crown molding isn't yet finished. Only the parts where the cabinets are is installed is up. The cabinets also need the glass put in the doors that will have glass fronts, and we need to put earthquake latches on them.
Damn, I'm tired just typing this up.
