I talked to the building inspector for the County today. I had a few questions about the plumbing code, as I found conflicting info on the State site and the County site. Turns out the County has it's own set of rules and those are the ones I need to follow. The inspector has been out to the job-site twice, not for inspections, but because I asked him to have a look at the Contractors work. He is impressed so far, says they are being pretty meticulous about everything. He said he tried to find something to make him think "where in the hell did he find these clowns"? Couldn't find anything, which makes me feel pretty good about the crew.
Carpool, that's the way we build up here too. I've set some trusses that were downright scary to flip into position. The shop I have here is a two story and we set these with a flipper pole. Hang on!! Here she comes!!!
Hank, I don't have a solid date for completion. The crew will do the shells only, then Doug and I will do the rest. I may have the HVAC done by a friend of mine, will have to see what his time frame is. I plan to go back down right after the first of the year to do the plumbing and electrical ground work. When that is done and inspected, the concrete guys go in. I want to get the well and septic done after that. Then I can take my time. I don't want to be down there working in the summertime. Too hot and muggy for me. Remember, I'm a cave dweller.
