The Duke power truck finally arrived this morning to move the main service line. After wondering for a few days when they would arrive they did show and they completed their work by lunch time. We now have underground power from the street to our meter. OK, City of Greenville, now I am ready for you to bury the lines at the street. With the main power line now out of the way the guys continued with framing the roof rafters. They completed most of the rafters over the owners suite and car shelter with only a few left to install over the stair tower. My guess is that we will have sheathing and felt by the weekend. Yea, no more water inside!
The electrician was busy downstairs all day moving wires and preparing the new connection. He also ran more new wire for switches, outlets and fixtures. I have carefully studied up on the electrical plan showing how all of the switches control each of the fixtures. I want to make sure the planning we did earlier still makes sense because it can be complicated trying to understand how you want your electrical system installed until you get a sense of how you will use each area. Definitely glad we used a Architect/Designer for these decisions. So bottom line is, we need to decide now if we are going to make any changes, because once the sheet rock goes up it gets messy (and expensive) to make changes. We also reviewed some drawings for a stone fireplace and custom book shelves for the family gathering area. We are still pondering these options and will decide soon how to move forward.
Oh, the post was called lights out lets build a roof because the power was out today for about 4 hours and they also were building a roof at the same time with a gas generator and a gas compressor. Sorry for the confusion.
