Getting Near The Finish

POSTED BY: Josh
EVERYTHING IS HAPPENING AT ONCE

So, I said I'd explain. The plumber and the heating guy told me there was no gas coming into the house. I told everyone about this a few days ago. We are being weigh-laid after all. When the gas guy saw that the old furnace was disconnected from the pipes, he had to lock the meter and wait for us to have the new one put in. As of yesterday the furnace was in place and connected to the ducting into the attic and second floor. Today he is finishing the first floor ducting and the plumber is connecting the gas lines. (I think)
The bathroom is being tiled. This should not take to long. John Wait, our general contractor told me it would take only about an hour. So he will be priming the living room and maybe the bedroom.
The last I heard, the plumber was going to be there doing the gas lines. I would assume that after that he would begin putting in the bathroom fixtures. We all know what happens when a person assumes, though. Of course this is dependent on how fast the tiles sets. That will probably happen over-night.
Yesterday the electrician put in all the light switched and outlets. They are all tied into the breaker panel. That made me happy. I think he was there today to finish the fire alarms. They weren't in last night when we went to look.
So, it looks like almost everything is going to be finished this week. I'm not sure when the plumbing inspector is going to come. I would hope he was called to come today. If that is the case then I can call N-Star and they will turn on our gas. I vaguely remember being told that the plumbing inspector only make appointments on Tuesday mornings. That would push us into next week.

:THE PLAN:
Laura is taking Friday off. She and I will be packing until then. I'm going to pick up the moving truck on Thursday after work. We can pack some of it then. Friday Laura will do what she can without me. When I get home we will finish packing the truck. Then we will drive it to Dedham and park it at the studio where I work. That night we sleep in Newton at Laura's parent's house.
Saturday morning we will get the truck and move in all of our things. Everything will probably be in one room and the cellar. Then we wait until everything is done.

:NOTE:
If anyone wants to help Laura on Friday let us know.
