Sean was here for most of the morning.  He, Chree, and I toured the house and made good progress in resolving design issues, e.g., where lights will be placed, how tile will be installed.  As always, Sean showed his impeccable taste and eye for detail... not to mention considerable tact.  We won’t mention the three-way switch practical joke he pulled on me just before lunch.  After reviewing the carpentry work list with Sean and me, Sonny eased the binding on the garage people-door that has been sticking ever since it was installed.  Better, but not yet completely fixed.  Doug put in some of the framing for the storage room soffits that will hide ductwork in that space.  Sonny and Doug worked on building the mud entry bench seat in the afternoon.  Shawn and Luke returned and flipped the pantry electrical panel so it is now right side up.  Steve spent the day continuing to put in PEX radiant heat tubing.  Tom continued wiring the basement and then, after Sean and Chree overruled my decisions about how the master bedroom lights, outlets, and switches were wired, rewired the master bedroom.  Chree and I went down to Rutland after lunch to order telephone, internet, and television service from COMCAST… and then make a quick (yes, you read that right) visit to the DMV office.
