Doug, John, and Chris completed all the touchup and clean up jobs that they had built into a final list of things to do.  They moved the freezer to the basement and plugged it into the electrical receptacle next to the emergency generator circuit box.  They moved the washer and dryer into the new laundry and stacked them  using the hardware kit I got about 6 months ago--luckily our washer-dryer combination was designed to stack, so it only took a $15 kit to put that together.  Doug took the task of bolting everything together and getting it to sit level in the laundry.  John installed all the towel racks and toilet paper holders in the three bathrooms.  Chris spent a lot of time cleaning and dusting off the walls.  Mike the painter was around to touch up the paint where dings and marks had appeared.

Dwayne installed the 5 spots in the kitchen, although the spots need some new bulbs, 50 watt, PAR20 medium base 120 volt halogen bulbs to be exact.

Harry Burd arrived to give us our final building code inspection. He used the exterior stairs that Doug had built for the bumpout door and checked the other door that had been disabled by removing the door handle. The rest of his inspection involved checking the electrical receptacles on the great room wall and in the kitchen.  Everything passed with flying colors and Harry will issue the occupancy certificate to Huston Twp, Envinity, and us.  With that we will be able to transition the construction loan to the permanent mortgage.   

With the achievement of the occupancy certificate milestone, our construction phase II is complete.  Move in date is a moving target, but we have our 'cast and crew' party scheduled for

this coming Saturday (July 31), so we will likely be(somewhat) moved in by then.

Hoss and Empress visited for their inspection: 5' black rat snake greeted them in the coop.
