Better Late Than Never

Week 34:Was too tired to post this on Sunday night. The week was mostly odds and ends. We have the battery backup for the sump pump in and now on a shelf off the floor. The plywood board is up for the voice and data punch down blocks to be mounted. We have the bathroom accessories installed as well and the painters continued with touch ups and patches. The pivot doors upstairs have been installed but one of the hinges is broken so that will have to be replaced. The final coat has been applied to the wood floors and they are nice and shiny. Now we are awaiting the final inspection which was canceled at the last moment due to the final survey not being reviewed by the village engineers. So, a mad scramble ensued and many email and phone calls later, the plans were delivered and reviewed. No major issues to be concerned with. Their only concern was a pipe that is located on the Northern side of the garage. They were concerned it was hooked to the village systems without a permit etc.., but we found out it was just a 6' long pipe that went into the ground so we dug it up. No worries. We have hired a cleaning company to come out and scrub down the walls and get ready for our move.

The smoke/carbon monoxide detectors were installed and are hardwired. No batteries to change...Yeah.
