Yea for the punch list. The guys knocked out about a third of the list today. We got door knobs, lights, AC, a pocket door and about 35 other things.

There was a snag installing the stove. The City of Austin requires that gas valves be available without moving the appliance. This means the gas line had to come up through a cabinet. But because the space is so tight and the stove was not built for this unique code, the plumber’s going to have to run the gas line into the wall and back out.
We had received only one of our atomic-cool glass shades for the kitchen. I installed it last weekend. Seemed like the safest place to keep it. It was smashed today. Probably all the furious hammering to get the hardie backer into the bathroom above it.
Today I dropped off a 1947 model American Standard pink sink to be installed in the downstairs bath. The story of the pink sink is long. Ask me about it at the house warming party. Actually – don’t.

3 days to go.
