Yesterday I got all of the circuit breakers installed. So, electrical is done except for hooking up devices such as the mini-split, water heater, etc. which will not happen for a while.

Electrical & Staining Trim
I put a first coat of stain on the roof edge trim today. Hopefully a second coat tomorrow and it'll be ready for drip edge and roofing.
I'm also continuing to work on the electrical. I only have the water heater circuit left to run and then to install breakers and hook everything up in the box.

Various Tasks

I also installed the breaker box in the house and all of the electrical boxes for outlets, switches, lights & smoke detectors. The ones on the outside of the house have a piece of stained 3/4" pressure treated plywood that they're mounted on.

Next step is to install the trim on the north & south eaves, get it stained and then install drip edge on all four sides. After that I'll be ready for roofing.
