Final Pictures

Monday Jameson stayed home from work and we both worked all day on finishing a variety of things. The electrical and plumbing inspector came to do those final inspections. We had to swap out two breakers for arc fault breakers and turn down how hot the water could get in the shower so it was below 120 degrees. We made those changes and by late afternoon had both of those passed off on. Monday afternoon / evening Kendil, a friend from Cedar Heights Church who does finish work for a living, came and helped us finish up the trim work, put up the stair railing, and make shelves for the bathroom closset. We went to bed with almost everything done!

Tuesday morning I worked at cleaning everything up and sealing the grout. Tuesday late morning, we had the carpet installed. Tuesday afternoon Jameson came home from work early to put up the closset doors, towel bars, and put smoke alarms in the bedrooms upstairs. The electrical inspector told us the final inspector would check to make sure we had all necessary smoke alarms, even though are permit was just for finishing the basement. At 3:30 the final inspector came and 2 minutes later was signed off and heading out the door! He only glanced in the bathroom and didn't seem to look at any details. Needless to say, we didn't need to worry about many of the details we were worried about having done just right for inspection. We were very excited that our work in the basement was done!

Here are some final pictures.









Jameson's sister, Jenessa, and her friend Amanda will be living in our wonderfully finished basement this school year. Amanda moved in late Wednesday morning. Jenessa had marching band all week, so she stayed living in our spare bedroom till she had time to move in over the weekend.
