It occurred to me today that it has taken 828 days to pass our first inspection on the house. No speed records there but I got a "nice work" from the inspector and a list of things to do so he would be happy. He did not look at anything I thought he would be flagged me on three really lame things. The washing machine drain had to be 3" instead of 2", I had to build a working platform in the attic beside the furnace, and I had to put some metal straps on a couple rafters that had large birds mouth cuts. He was only concerned with the wiring, smoke detectors and egress requirements on the windows. I thought I was going to have to change out the windows upstairs until he insisted on measuring them, ultimately going my way. Brian the plumber came this morning and fixed his end. At one point in time I heard snoring from some animal quite loudly only to discover our cat Julius buried in the insulation behind the hot water heater. Lucky for him I let him live another day. I also got to knock out a little more siding while the weather held out. Dont hold your breath...insulation next week.
