Finishing up

I am busy finishing the items that were mentioned at the inspection for our final on our permit. The first thing was to cover up all of the insulation and vapour barrier. In the basement this meant finishing up some peripheral projects. One of them being the 200 amp panel in the utility room.

I started with blocks at the top to secure the wiring

Next came a box frame around all of the panel and wiring

Finally a little drywall to finish

The green light at the bottom is a panel surge protector

Next project was the drywall for the garage.  The ceiling wasn't required so I did just the walls at this time.

Garage done and baseboard waiting on the floor

Next project was one that I thought would take a couple of ours but I was at it from 7:00 to 7:00. I had to put vapour barrier on all the walls where the floor joists meet the outer wall and add insulation if there was none.

Tomorrow I will be building a gate for the deck where we intend to have our stairs to the garden. I actually have to build the gate and secure it with screws as if it was a solid rail panel. Then, next spring I will undo it and build some stairs.  They won't sign it off otherwise. The last thing to finish will be some securing of waterlines and wiring downstairs. 

I am going to Victoria on Friday so tomorrow is the day to finish everything as I am scheduling a final, final inspection for Monday.
