Lights on, carpet, deck rail and stairs, final hardware and accessories

Passed the electrical inspection earlier in the week and finally have full power to the house so we can turn on lights now. It's nice seeing formerly dark areas, especially the laundry and basement bath, closets, and exercise room, since those don't have windows and it was hard to tell what they were like even in the day time. Still need kitchen pendants to be installed and the barn doors should go up soon.

Carpeting was installed yesterday/today, looks and feels nice. Makes a big difference in softening the sound upstairs - much less echo-y. Also helps a little in the main living area, since the hallway and overlook upstairs is carpeted. Obviously it makes the rooms look a lot more complete.  The stair treads and railing for the deck are done. Didn't get any dedicated pictures of that tonight; it was already getting dark when we were there. Door hardware was installed the past few days too.  Shower enclosures are done and bathroom mirrors are in progress. Towel bars and toilet paper holders and those kinds of things are all in progress.  The gutters and downspouts were added outside today. We have rain chains instead of downspouts around the front porch. They're hauling out the big dumpster and starting landscaping tomorrow, that should be a nice change on the outside, too.

The more finished everything gets the more "stuff-to-fix" stands out, also the house is pretty dusty/dirty right now which is not helping. Walls are getting ongoing patch/sanding/paint touch ups. There are light switches wired wrong (down is on, up is off, etc.) and crooked outlet covers. Minor but annoying fixes. We're already tallying up a mental punch list, but trying to be patient over this last week since we know everyone is still finishing up.
