October 20^th through October 25^th Installation of water and sewer lines. The water and sewer lines underground are extended through the inside walls, so that all sanitary objects like sink, showers and toilets can be connected. Sealed PVC pipes are used for this purpose. The sewer lines are led through the inside walls to the top to be connected within the roof construction and extended over the roof and ventilated on each side of the house.
October 26^th through October 30^th Recessed lighting cans are installed into the roof bars. Underneath the roof construction all electric wiring for appliances, tv, phone, alarm system and surround sound are installed through the inside walls. In order to cover up and finish the outside walls small slots are inserted. On the outside wall of the house the electricity meter box is installed so that the power company may read the power usage once a month without having to enter the home.
October 28^th – November 6^th Inside the roof construction all pipes for the air conditioning system are installed and all devices for the system are connected. Inside of the house two condensing units are installed to give the house two separate climate zones. This equipment will not only let the owner control the temperature in both zones but will also reduce the humidity. The air conditioning system also serves as a heating system.
November 8^th through November, 14^th The entire roof is insulated with spray foam. Once sprayed into the roof area the foam stretches into an approx. 8 inch thick insulation within a short time period. This insulation is applied to the underside of the roof plates in order to protect the attic as well as all the A/C and electrical equipment installed there from any harm. The spray foam is also applied to all holes drilled into the inside walls up to the ceiling for extra insulation as well as noise reduction. The inside walls are insulated with approx. 2.5 inch thick fiberglass mats.
November 16^th - November 23^th The inside walls and ceilings are now covered with drywall.
November 23^th - November 30^th The seams of the drywall are now hardcoated and areas for outlets and wall switches are now cut out.
