Does TX make you have fire sprinklers?

Yes. Any structure 6000 sq ft or larger it's required. We'll pass inspection then shut that valve off. During the big freeze last year the fire sprinklers froze and caused major damage to the houses. Not going to let that happen to this house. They're designed to put out fires. And water leaks cause the most damage. How often does your house catch on fire? Peace

The house is completely incapsulated. Going to be sealed tight. Can't wait to see the result of the spray in foam. The seal tape on the windows and the seal around the doors, builder says you'll be amazed at how little dust builds in your home. And the temp stays the same using very little Heat / AC. We'll be $170k over budget guaranteed. DAMN!! Guess i'll have to find a nice 70 to ride around camp! Peace

 
These windows with the Flashing Tape seals real good. Builder said years a go they'd just nail the windows in without tape. Hence all the dust entering your home. That tape is some TACKY stuff. Peace

Now would be the time to run any wiring you want for plans and future plans for audio/visual stuff.  

I'm super weird about not seeing any wires.   :lol:

Waiting on Electricians. Builder says IT / stereo / speaker / TV / Security wires come after Electrical. Sensitive wires. He's had too many issues in the past. My IT guy is ready to roll. Damn Electricians. Slowing up the job. Peace

Ahhh.  Yes.  I'm sure the electrician needs to run his stuff and have it inspected before you do your thing.  I'm dealing with the same with my pool to run extra electrical and irrigation.

Call your Electrician and tell him your drywaller is scheduled for this date and he will start one siding on that date. There will be no change order for him to do everything from one side of the wall only back charges from the drywaller to repair stuff.

That is like lighting a fire with dynamite but it might get him off his ass.
