The plumber installed the tub and the in-wall portions of the valves for the tub & showers on Friday (4/11). That's the same day I started running the cable, telephone, and network lines with my dad. We've spent a total of about 18 hours so far over 3 days. We've finished every room except the kitchen and the runs that go from the media closet to the TV wall.
For the cabling, I've ordered some things I knew I would need. I've got rubber boots that go on the cat 5 cable before you put the connector at the end. These boot prevent the plastic press-down tab on the connector from snagging on other cables. Here is a picture of what I'm talking about. I also ordered some labels for each coax, network, and telephone cable. It's a product called KableFlags, and it looks to be the best solution I've seen so far. I have a Dymo label printer, and I used those labels temporarily until my KableFlags get here. They are already peeling off!
Today, the A/C installers were there again. He said they were finishing some copper runs and "pressurizing". I'm not sure what that means.
The heater/vent/lights have shipped! As soon as they get here, I can call my electrician and A/C guy in to get those hooked up and vented to the soffit. My electrician's wife is having triplets by c-section on 4/25, so I'm hoping I can get him down to finish these few things before then!
The plumber is waiting on my copper roof jacks to be made, and then he can run the stacks out the roof. I'll get my roof put on right after that.

Hi there,
Just incase it is of any interest to you, a while back i found a british labels compnay who were selling plain labels at a really low price. If you are at all interested then it may be worth taking a look at their website.
