New House Progress

It seemed like there wasn't much progress for a while, but it's likely that it was necessary to wait for county building inspectors to approve the work before continuing. A couple of leaks turned up during the pressure test of the plumbing, but they were fixed. The "low voltage" wiring is done; that includes cable, satellite, network, and phone. The garage floor is done, and so is the insulation in the walls. The gas meter has been installed, which means it won't take much to get the furnace running. It's probably time to install the water heater, now that it will have concrete to sit on. Sheet rock installation can begin now also. There was something that seemed odd; the big window in the bonus room has been removed. We're not sure if there was some damage, a leak, or if it was removed to make it easier to get a bunch of sheet rock to the second floor.
