From The Field: Finishes, cont'd

The excitement has been building as the house nears completion. As the cleaning crew wrapped up on Thursday, we saw all the tile, countertops, flooring, and built ins in their finished state at last. The owners  have been doing low-voltage wiring (Paul is a pro--technical director at Fuse Technical Group), and have been learning the details of mechanical equipment use, cabinet adjustments, appliances, etc.

It's great to walk through a house just before completion and LOVE the smell of the air inside. Big thanks to EHB for their attention to detail on materials not just with the construction, but also with the cleaning products used at the end of construction. The ventilation system and mini-split are up and running--mechanical room is all fitted out:
W/D (drain pan now removed), heat pump water heater, ERV

Energy and temperature/humidity monitoring systems
All cleaned and ready for tomorrow's tour:
concrete stain (RetroPlate) looks great

It's been a beautiful Spring. Landscaping starts Monday!
