Gary’s post: Rough-in plumbing is done. Wendy is inspecting the work, fortunately the real inspector passed everything so we’re on to the next phase. Now for the electrician to set the conduit for the in- floor outlets and the outlets for the kitchen island. We had a small disconnect with the wall faucets, Wendy wanted them on the long side of the tub and said the back wall. The plumbers put in on the narrow side of the tub, but on the back wall. We’ll figure it out with our contractor on Monday.
The house is starting to take shape, and it’s going to be beautiful. This weekend we’ll spend looking at floors, faucets and lightening. And we need to get the kitchen appliances purchased. I’ll call our builders rep tomorrow and start getting quotes on appliances. I’ll need to go to Ferguson and look at their appliances also – the issue will be column refrigeration as it’s expensive and GE Cafe doesn’t have those, so I’ll have to mix with something else.
Tomorrow, I go on semi-retirement and start working 25 hours a week. I’m excited and not excited. With the current administration, it’s hard to know what is going on with Social Security the next four years. I would think that making any changes would cause massive revolt. You’d get a grey hair revolution. Hysterical to think about that. Thousands of wheelchairs flooding the streets of Washington DC. I think this will be good for me and what I needed. I’m more focused when I’m in meetings during the 3 days that I work. And I have a lot more energy, so I think this will work out for the next year. On my days off I’ll end up sitting the contactors and playing golf, shooting and riding my vehicles including my mountain bike.
Not much more happening. I think tomorrow will be electrical work and then foundation work early next week. Next week I’m back in Seattle for my cardiologist appointment. I have another appointment at the end of the month with a cardiologist here in NM. And I’ll get an endocrinologist and general MD lined up this month.
Well, it’s time for bed so I’m going to cut this short. We’re slowly starting to meet people, so we’re expanding our friend circles. This will take some time, but we’ll get there.
Tomorrow is Friday, so everyone enjoy and have a good evening.
