It feels crazy to drill a hole through the perfectly nice cabinets, but this will be great when it's done. Unfortunately the hole didn't line up because the drip tray drain was welded on at a weird angle. So now I need to get a hole saw and make this hole larger.
-
Finally got the power supply for the motorized shades installed! I mapped out most of the wires, at least enough to know which ones need to be powered. I didn't bother getting out the ladder to trace the 6 that are super high up tho.
-
welp, we failed the mechanical inspection today because someone didn't hook up the microwave hood ducts. This is definitely not my job, but also I'm kind of surprised I didn't even notice this in the last couple months. Unrelatedly, the plumbing inspector went batshit and failed us for no reason, but that's a story for another time.

Trying to get to the bottom of the weird error the hot tub is showing. They wanted me to take a photo of the wiring, so here it is.
-
I didn't expect to have to trim this electrical plate cover to fit. Apparently I installed the closet track too close to the hole, tho that's the only place it could go because that's where the stud is.

Sprinkler guy missed a few caps when he was here... bathroom, bedroom, entry. Not giving me a lot of confidence.
-
and *this* is why I added a plug strip along the half wall! Each device's cord is a straight shot to the wall, no messy cords crossing over each other!
-
Finally finished the last two breakers, and now I have every circuit in the loft hooked up to the power monitoring system!
-
window blinds guys came today to measure the windows
-
new kitchen needs new dishes!
-
It was a close call but I got all the CT wires run through the conduit into the new low voltage box!
-
The sprinkler guy came and finished running the pipe out to the shed location today!
-
I used my label maker for the electrical panel and the electrician was so impressed with it he bought the same label maker himself 😂 He said this was much quicker and neater than hand-writing the branch names.
-
Opened up the drywall under my electrical panel to make room for the electricians to install a new low voltage box for monitoring the power usage of each circuit!
-
Kitchen update. Not a 3D rendering, not AI.
-
decided to just get a quote for blinds and install all in one go
-
The elevator guy installed the dumbwaiter call buttons today! It's going to drive me crazy that it's crooked though so I am going to have to fix it.
-
The hot tub cover finally arrived! I had to screw the little clamps in for the straps, and it felt more than a little terrifying to drill a hole in the wood with it full of water.
-
They did such a good job with the patio pavers!
-
Today I hooked up the CT clamps to the main breaker panel, and now I have continuous monitoring of how much power the house is using! It's very cool. I'm going to have my electrician run CTs to each individual circuit next time he's here.
