So they're laying my bricks! After setting up on Tuesday, they came back and started the job in ernest on Wednesday. (Photos to come.) I got my hole cut for the dryer vent on Tuesday, and I determined that I'll put the stove exhaust vent through the roof instead of the wall. A call to my roofer about helping with that hasn't been returned.
My friend who reminded me about these vents also reminded me that I need an electrical outlet to power the range hood. So that gets added to the other outlets for my electrician to finish. He said he'll be here sometime this week if he can. In the meantime, my HVAC guy measured for what he needs to vent the bathroom fans to the soffit. But my electrician has installed a couple of the fans where the vent opening if facing the wrong way (toward the center of the house). So either my electrician or I need to take them down and mount them in the other direction.
Another thing I remembered at the very last minute is the way I wanted to post my house number outside. I want to use a cast stone plaque that gets mortared into the wall with the bricks. It looks like this:
I found a place online that sells them online (Springfield Brick Co.). Look on their products page under cast stone. I ordered mine this morning. If it doesn't arrive before the brick layers finish the front of the house, they say it's no problem for them to cut a hole later and put the plaque in place.
