Behind the scenes - or walls

Now that the framing is done, sometimes we have to hunt to see what has happened since our previous visit. They have installed the magnetic sensors on all the windows for the security system. We had a break-in a few years ago, so we're glad to have these.
Earlier this week, we told our builder where we wanted all of the cable and phone connections. He painted "TV" or "MM" (for multimedia) on the slab or decking. Now, the cable has been run to all those spots. This is in one of the upstairs bedrooms.This is a little stroke of genius, to us - they have installed small metal plates over the studs where water/sewer pipes are located. I wonder how many people have started a little weekend project, "let's put a new light fixture here!", located the stud in the wall, and proceeded to drill into the water line. Oops! That shouldn't happen here.
In the attic, the tankless water heater has been installed.

Tune in tomorrow for this week's cool ride.
