Cart Horse Remodel Edition
Well the drywall people have plastered in the entire room. Too bad the electricians and plumbers hadn't finished.
Thanks Liz. I've been busy abusing the subcontractors. Sometimes you need to stop and smell the numerous flowers. I'm getting proud of my efforts. I keep finding long neglected pockets where the plants have achieved mutual accommodation. Far prettier than any formal system.
Our old place had a zone which made electricians brain dead. It was in a corner, and the builder's electrician and the re builders both made the same mistake. Instead of going around the corner, they went Across it, making a triangle not an el shape.

Seriously? I thought you were GC on this gig...
I told my GC that this was seriously FUpd but they are apparently more used to fixing than doing it right the first time.
This is funny, except it isn't. They thought the wires would make a nice decoration on the outside?
Good Morning!
That's why I learned to do almost all of it by myself. I have to answer to the GC (wife) as it is. Saying around here "drywall hides all" ;)
Nota bene. Added a picture from the xeriscape garden.
Very pretty.

Electrical and plumbing done. Drywall up. Finish coat awaits.
