Low Voltage Wire

Today(Sunday, Oct 16) we finally pulled the first of our low voltage wire. We have three primary systems. We have a wireless network now and will install one in the new house, so why are we pulling structured wire that will give us dual cat5 and dual coax in 7 locations around the house? Read here:

We are also installing an alarm system. An alarm company is installing the control unit, we are pulling the wire and setting the contacts for them.

The final system is our whole house audio. We are installing a multi-zone, multi-input system that will allow us to listen to music from different sources in various parts of the house at the same time. I (Mike) took a class last week at the Home Tech store in Cupertino, They are an EXCELLENT resource. Want to learn more, just click here: http://www.hometech.com/learn/audio.html#intro

Here are 5 of the 6 or 7 different gauge wires we are using for this project.

Electricity is done!

Our electrical service is done! (well, except for the all important punch list that will be knocked out on Monday) The Integrity Electic guys spent several days here this week. They said we have one of the most intense switching systems they have ever seen in a residential project.......I must confess that I'm still not sure what all 12 of the switches behind the front door actually do..... Pictured is Joe from Integrity Electric putting the finishing touches on our kitchen island. The counter top guys were here on Wed to measure the counters, they were fabricated today and will be installed next Wednesday....

It's finally done...

   We're excited to report that our house is finally, really, officially DONE!  The shower hardware in the third-floor bathroom was installed this past weekend.   Yes, we moved in back in June of 2006....Don't judge...
