Wednesday - Sunday, September 23-27, 2009
Wow, quite a lengthy session Thursday morning poring through the cabinet engineering drawing that we got last night. We spent almost two hours with Seth going through almost every measurement to verify it. We did catch a few mistakes and a few issues that we hadn't considered, and made a few changes as well. Hopefully they all make sense to Nandi et. al. at Rivendell and they'll get updated drawings back to us soon that we like.
The latter half of this week has been slower than previous days. Had a plumber spend a couple hours here Friday fixing a crack in the clothes washer pipe that was created during demo, and re-running the dryer gas and fridge water lines. Friday was a ocst-cutting day for Berkeley, so the inspection services were closed, so we'll have to schedule on Monday an electrical inspection hopefully for Tuesday. Then they can start drywalling on Wednesday. Critical path is still the cabinets, so we're expecting to finalize those ASAP.
I want to put in a ventilation system for the media cabinet, but am having a hard time figuring out whether I can realistically spend a couple hundred bucks for vents and fans and have it work well enough, or if I have to buy something upscale like this, which costs several hundred bucks. The local upscale audio store recommended the expensive one (of course), but it looks like their markup is way high. I think I'm going to go for the good solution, but get it online for almost half the price. This is something that is moveable, too, so conceivably if it continues to work for a long time I could use it elsewhere after a second-floor remodel or something like that.
We're trying to make a final decision on the dining room lamp, and have lots of options. I'll have Jen post the links. We are also eagerly awaiting the arrival of our outdoor heaters - hopefully Monday.
