Electrical, Plumbing and HVAC almost done!

The electrician, plumber and HVAC technician have been working hard, and are almost done. The house looks funny right now - wires, pipes and vents running everywhere. It's hard to believe how elaborate it all is. As you can see below, the furnace is in place. There are dozens of blue and black junction boxes scattered around! Three of the boxes you can see here going up the stairs are for LED stair lights. This is the south wall of the family room. The orange "pipe" is a tech tube which runs to a spot behind the fireplace. This will allow us or a future resident to put the TV above the fireplace while running components cables to this site. The red disks on the ceiling are the front speakers for the built-in surround sound system I mentioned in a previous post.

This is a view up the stairs from the first floor showing the tube we're having installed from the attic to the basement. This will allow wires to be run from the roof (such as for satellite) down to components located in the basement without running lines on the outside of the house. Neat!
