@Make_It_Right As you are aware @Make_It_Right carpet can offer some advantages over solid surfaces:
1. Warmth
2. Acoustic dampening (sound control)
3. Safe; reduces slipping hazard - especially on stairs.
Many carpets are now anti-mold and allergen.
TEST TEST TEST
Test your smoke alarms, carbon monoxide detectors, fire extinguishers, and all ground-fault circuit interrupters. Smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors should be tested monthly.
@Make_It_Right I recommend a small ABC in the kitchen and a larger 5 pound extinguisher 🧯 in the garage or mechanical room. Occupants should also learn how to use it effectively (sweep the flame at its base to smother the fire 🔥)
Builder tip⤵️
Consider conducting a Blower Door test/thermography to identify vapour barrier leaks before drywalling. This will ensure that your wall is more energy efficient, but also moisture isn’t being introduced into the wall cavity.

Builder tip:
Be prepared for future solar power installation. A solar powered home requires easy changes from standard construction, such as a solar rough-in.
All GENERATIONS homes feature a ‘solar chase’ to accommodate future installation.
