We had a lot going on last week of our new home construction, including plumbing and electrical. The furnace was brought in, and the ductwork for the furnace and HRV was started. Nothing is finished completely, but here are some progress pictures.

And the panel box (it’s not quite finished in this picture, but you get the idea).
We also had a trench dug from the road to the house for the electrical wire and phone line.
There are lots of wires in the basement that still need to be finished. Tony is doing all the wiring himself, and it turned out to be a bigger job than he expected.
