Day 184 - Cleaning and Prep

Today we finished cleaning the basement after the water.  Not much trouble and things look great.  We have a battery backup system going in on Thursday.

Tomorrow is a big day with final electric inspection, the water meter is going in, and more deliveries.  If all goes well Thursday and Friday the backsplash should go in with the other final inspections by Friday.  After that we submit for temporary occupancy and then we should be able to move in.

Our FM will be by the house the majority of the day dealing with punch list we have given him:

• Powder room sink drain doesn’t open all the way
• Can’t replace floor vent by the front door
• Missing 2 toe kick floor vents in the kitchen
• Basement bathroom missing the doorknob
• Fix holes where the AC Unit used to be on the garage wall
• Loose baseboard on Jefferson’s bathroom closet right side
• Caulking on Jefferson’s sink (I think Bruce did that on Wednesday when he came over)
• Messy plaster job on Jefferson’s bathtub
• Missing a doorstop on Jefferson’s bedroom closet
• Mater bathroom wall between shower and tub, not straight at all (you can tell when you look at the baseboard on the floor)\
• Master bathroom countertop needed caulking (I think Bruce handled when he was over on Wednesday)
• Master bedroom doorknob hits barn door when open all the way (maybe a longer door stopper?)
• Loft window top right plastic is still loose/popped out still
• Front door floor trim looks messy and a gap, not sure if that’s normal
• Painting of the front door and garage door in the Spring with Bruce
• Front door trip is very slow and needs to be fixed and there are staple holes
• Missing lock on the powder room bathroom door
• Front closet has a lock on it?
• Drywall in the greatroom carpet
• Laundry room floor vent doesn’t fit
• Spring hinge for the garage door when you enter the Mudroom
• Down stairs window left of fire place missing the screen (it’s sitting in front of it)
• Hydraulics for the bench seat (lid is very heavy)
• Bridging for the downstairs floors. They echo a little when you walk. My Dad mentioned you can do bridging on the floor boards from the basement to help with the sound.
• There is a scratch under the slider door handle on the outside
• Caulking under the bartop
• Put the stairs back on the back of the house
