Plumbing and Electrical

They have been working in the last week or so on getting the plumbing and electrical roughed in. The first pic is one of the switch boxes in the kitchen, and the second pic is the view into the master bath. There are so many light and fan switches that I'll never keep it all straight. I'm sure it'll take me 3-4 months to halfway remember what switch hits what light.

We weren't happy with the drawings for the master bath all along, and we knew that once we began building, we would figure out how to rearrange it then. So I think we've finally got it all figured out. We ended up separating the closet from the bath, which makes the bath a little smaller, but it still fits the tub, large shower, and vanity with double sinks just fine. And the closet is huge. I've never had a closet this big before--I think it's larger than Braxton's current bedroom. Oh yeah!

Other progress? The front door is on order as well as the replacement windows for the ones that were too tiny. The rest of the doors were sitting in the garage when we were out there this weekend, so they should be installed this week. I think he's pushing to get the rough-in done this week or next and get that inspection done soon. My experienced eye tells me that the electricians have another day or so, and the plumber probably needs the same.

This is the point where Philip wants me to take a virtual photo tour of all the walls with the electrical and plumbing, so if there are any questions later he can refer back to the "rough-in retrospective." Those aren't the most fun pics to look at, but I agree it will be useful, so I'll probably be doing that this weekend.
