Our friend

It’s getting closer to time to move in, unfortunately someone’s beat us to it:

Hopefully he won’t like it as well when we get to painting and the smell gets overwhelming, and then hopefully not too long after, we can get things shut up.

Here’s another panorama at the site, with the viewpoint taken from inside the kitchen, standing in front of where the stove will be.

It feels different with sheetrock

But it might just be one of those situations where “you’ve got to be there to feel it”

We finally made it! On to insulation, sheetrock, … and Moving in!

ok, maybe that’s getting a little ahead of ourselves, but it IS progress!

Building project status

Sunday, August 5th, 2007

Rough-ins are done at last.

Now “all” we have to do is get past the inspections.

So far, we’ve had four inspections, from three different inspectors. Each time they come out, they find new things. This is NOT helpful for concluding this round. Currently, the last inspector by had only one tiny real issue; (it was so small we probably could have fixed it before he was finished inspecting, if Pops or I had been there) and he said we could go on to drywall even though he didn’t pass us. Yay! Still, if we fail another inspection because of new issues, and switch around inspectors, we’re going to complain to the building department.
