Pierre This area is on two floors covering about 30,000 sq ft.

I had rough wall inspection on each floor and a rough ceiling inspection on each floor.

The inspector has been out 4 times so far and will be out 2 more times for finish.

This job had 12 guys for 2 weeks to pull (about 40,000 ft MC) and box the majority of the work. During this time all the lighting feeds for the 2 x 4 troffer are also hung from the ceiling and the independent support wires for the fixtures (required in MA) are installed.

The MCs for the lights are stripped, connectors and wires nuts installed.

Bar boxes for exit signs, smoke detectors, occupancy sensors etc are also all hung from the ceiling.

All of this is done long before the grid goes in, if the job drags we will wire and hang the troffer from the support wires before the grid is installed. This is not how to make friends with the ceiling contractor though.

Once all that was done we have cut down to 5 guys to do finish work and work on cleaning up existing conditions.
