Carpeting up

Michelle spent the week clearing out the front bedroom, pulling the carpeting out of the front bedroom, pulling staples and tackstrips, and cleaning up debris. On Saturday, she spent the day attaching pigtails in the outlet boxes downstairs, attaching outlets to the pigtails, and pulling some wires.

Framed out

Steve finished framing in the downstairs with help from a new guy, Aldo. He needs to check his work upstairs and add a few studs in for sheet rock backing, then we’ll be ready for framing inspection.

Siding off

Reuben and Orlando spent the week removing the remaining siding from the upstairs, drilling holes for me to run wiring through, and nailing on straps.

I spent Saturday moving electrical outlets upstairs so they are 18″ up instead of in the baseboards, re-wiring circuits upstairs, and wiring circuits downstairs.

Aiming for framing, shear wall, and plumbing inspections this week, and rough electrical inspection next week.
