2007 12 22

We passed final inspection yesterday morning. The inspector was here for 10 minutes, checking the jacuzzi tub power, shower enclosure and light switch cover plates and canned lights. Mike said we shall meet with Jackson and him, first of the year to close everything out.

I have completed the bedroom flooring and last night I laid down the moisture barrier in the living room. Right now I am setting up the first strip against the north wall of the living room to run all the other boards off. Hopefully the living room will go quickly and it will get done today or tomorrow. Yesterday we ordered a new bed, mattress and nightstands from Mor and it should be here Monday the 31st. That was $3400... ouch!

I bought a router and a router table so I can use the scrap from the flooring as we are going to run out of flooring. I am using it to create a tongue on some board ends and groves on others. I picked up 4 boxes of comparable flooring from Lumber Liquidators and it matches up pretty good. We had to go with different stuff as Turion is no longer in business, which is the first kind of flooring we bought. So much for having a 30 year warranty on the flooring...

All next week I will be finishing off stuff like baseboards and grouting the kitchen floor tiles, touch up paint and things like that.

The shower enclosure got installed on Wednesday and it looks awesome. It was a huge amount of money but it really makes the whole room look great.
