Building a House: Day 139-149

Electrical and HVAC is finished and inspections for that done (and passed!). Fireplace picked out and installed, as well as the furnace (though gas lines won’t be run to our house until after the ground has thawed).

Building a House: Day 134-136

All framing is finally done, most importantly the stairs, so we don’t have to crawl through the window well anymore to see the downstairs! Also finished the framing on the closets in the kids rooms and we have windows, which makes the house feel more complete. And they started on HVAC and got most of the rough-in plumbing done. Lots of progress this week!
