The drywall is just about complete. Had a few issues in the bathroom that took some time away from the job. Wife wanted a steam shower so we bought one of the all in one kits (Steam shower, rainfall heads, lights, music, etc. Well the inspector didn't like it becaise it didn't have an ASSE cert on the valve (even though the documentation and the valve were marked temp compensating / anti scald). So we had to install another anti scald valve in series with the shower. That's done, access will be through a lower bar cabinet, back to drywall.
Theater is all rocked but by the Rack and the facia of the soffit above the stage. I was admiring it yesterday when I came home to check on the builders (who had left early), when I noticed something missing........to my horror it was the center channel speaker wire. In a panic, I counted the wires at the rack, 11 in total (7 theater, 2 bar, 2 deck), so that must be right but they must have buried it. I grab the screw gun and take off the bottom screen wall piece of drywall, push out the insullation and crawl behind the wall (false wall for water meter and plumbing access). No wire anywhere!!!! WTF!!!
Go back and count wires again, still 11, where is it? It was then I remember that I need 8 wires in the Theater, 7 for speakers and one for the non self powered sub under the riser. I had forgotten to wire the center channel.
Luckily I still had acces from the rack to the left side soffit. Screwed my wire fishing sticks together and pushed them through the soffit with 12-2 speaker wire attached and found it at the other end. Finished up with only 6ft extra from the 500ft spool left. Put the drywall back in place and itched the rest of the night from that damn insullation.
Moral of the story: Check your wire placement multiple times before you drywall....DOH
