With the building enclosed and the security system installed, our contractors begin installing the more vulnerable components of their system. Our plumber has delivered the copper piping and over the course of the last week piped the majority of the domestic water system.

Our electrical contractor has brought over the heavy duty main electrical wiring, the electrical meter housing, the main power disconnects, fuse boxes, and bathroom exhaust fans. Over the course of the week, the main conduit piping has been installed on the exterior of the building and has been connected to the meter housing and building disconnects. The bathroom exhaust fans have been installed on the second floor and the 1st and 2nd floor as well as the public area electrical fuse boxes have been installed. Unfortunately, due to a max distance requirement from the main power cut out to our fuse box, we have ended up with fuses in one of our basement bedrooms as well as one in a 2nd floor bedroom. This is not ideal and we’ll have to incorporate this into the final look as best as possible. With the fuse boxes in place, this allows our electrician to start running the conduit from around the apartment back to the main power source.

Finally, our HVAC contractor kept plugging away at installing duct work and PVC exhaust flues. The biggest accomplishment of the week was running the 3 exhaust flues (future furnace, and 2 water heaters) from the basement mechanical room up through the building and out through the roof. We have asked all of our contractors to complete their roof stub-outs as soon as possible so that we can finish our roof installation.
