Waiting for Electrical Inspection

It's Wednesday morning, 6/24/09. Electrical is ready for Arlington Heights inspection. Since they only inspect in our area in the afternoon, the house is quiet this morning. Dan will be here before noon, so he's here when the Inspector arrives.

I did take pictures of the electrical stuff. Very important, yes - but pretty boring. Although the picture I've posted is not boring to us. A new cabinet is being installed between the family room and the kitchen, where the iron railing used to be. A low cabinet, with a height slightly less than the back of the (family room) couch. Once installed, the answering machine and phone that are now on the bar (at the far end of the family room) will be relocated to the new cabinet. No more running from the kitchen to the bar area to see who is calling, or to check for messages. The new outlet is actually not visible in this picture - it's kind of behind the blue tape. The holes you see were made in order to find/run the electric.

BTW, doing dishes in the basement was just as unpleasant last night. Per Dan, the biggest hassle for most of his customers has been the lack of a dishwasher. I believe it.
