Last little bit of house work

One week left until we close on the house! We were up there today for the final walk-through and inspection, and I got to see the floors uncovered for the first time. They look pretty good.

There are a few small things still left to do, and a few things got added to the punch list for the builders to fix before closing, but everything is looking really good so far.

The structured wiring panel is set up with the CAT5 (currently used for the phone lines) and CATV coax to the various rooms. I’ve got a few options on how to use this depending on whether we get a land line, or how we want to do the Magic Jack for phone around the house.

The gas is turned on to the house, so I got to test out the gas stove. Five burners with electronic ignition, so no pilot lights to fuss with. Really looking forward to cooking with a gas stove again.

Here we have the breaker box all labeled. That big one in slots 1/3 is one we’re excited about. A 50A breaker for the 220V line in the shack. We’re looking forward to putting it to use one of these days.

We also have several dedicated outlets in various spots, so I don’t have to worry too much about overloading circuits.

Time to start packing up the apartment!
