It seems quite reasonable once we have demonstrated to him what is required and what is to be avoided, to ask Mr. Barrows even after he has completed the plastering otherwise, to enlarge the plastered dry-wall openings for the ceiling fixtures on both the first and second floors. This is done using a router which arguably in the non-insulated first floor fixtures might damage a previously unlocalized electrical cable. Inasmuch as the plaster abutting the opening requires manual trimming in any event, I saw - and see - no disadvantage to having Mr. Barros trim the openings on the first floor after he has plastered the dry-wall. The openings in the second floor ceiling which has already been plastered required trimming in any event. If I remember correctly the electrical cables to the fixtures for insulated ceilings are so positioned as to be much less vulnerable to damage from a router.

On these various questions, the kind of flooring, the drainage of the pressure tank, and various other issues, I wish to do nothing more than state my opinion for your consideration. I'm not offended if you choose to proceed otherwise. I haven't argued with you, and I won't argue with you about anything. My purpose is to try make your difficult life easier, if I can, certainly not to make it more difficult.
