03-24-2011: Showers, day 6; Electrical, day 5

Rick poured the shower pan in the master shower this evening and is very close to being finished with the showers.  He just needs some more cement board on the walls but can't work on it until the floor sets up. 

The electricians were back and installed some more lights, including some of the exterior lights, the lights over the island, and the lights in the garage.  They also installed the doorbell, moved the entry light to the up-stairwell and rewired some light switches.  They still haven't put up any bathroom fixtures yet. 

The electrical guys should be back tomorrow, along with the fireplace guys and possibly the alarm guys.  I'm very hopeful that we can go get the tile and hardwood flooring tomorrow and get started with that.  Rick says we'll start with the tile in the small bathrooms.

We also got bids on the faucets today and will get those going very quickly.  We've done a 45 day lock on the interest rate for the mortgage with the option of one free re-lock if the rates go down--we now have to be finished by May 5th.  I'm hoping for a week or two sooner than that.
