We finished the electrical rough-in and had the San Francisco building inspector sign an OK-to-close.
We finished the electrical rough-in and had the San Francisco building inspector sign an OK-to-close. We’ve now engaged a drywall company to finish the space.
Here’s the kitchen before the drywall arrives. What you see below is where the sink and dishwasher will go: sink drainage, hot/cold water pipes, and yellow Romex runs for countertop outlets and the dishwasher.

Sink and dishwasher rough-in: drain, supply lines, and electrical runs.
These are the studs and the window opening; walls and insulation will be installed here.

Studs and future window opening — ready for insulation and drywall.
What’s remaining:
- (1/2 day) General insulation — using Rockwool
- (2 days) Fire-resistant drywall installation
- (2 days) Mudding and taping
- (2 days) Drying time for mud
- (2 days) Patching and sanding
