We passed another inspection today! Last Sunday someone from church who is a contractor asked if we could use help with sheetrocking - he was hoping to get a small crew of guys (probably mostly his two sons) together to help us blitz that when we were ready. Supposedly (if the boom truck at Menards gets fixed in time to deliver it tomorrow morning) they will be here tomorrow afternoon to help get the ceilings in the upstairs and the little link space (hall and laundry) up and in! That meant that Matt had to work like crazy this week to get the vapor barrier (and maybe something else) ready for an inspection today. He also pushed on the plumbing drain and vent lines so he could get an informal opinion from the inspector on those before he actually welded them together. The inspector was satisfied with those, too, so now Matt can get out the nasty purple primer and PVC glue and put those all together, do some more bits on the mechanical, and get those two inspections done soon. Once those are in place, we can RUN on lots of exciting things - sheet rock, light fixtures, tile and fixtures in the bathrooms - all of the "pretty" things! And as far as I know, we won't need any more inspections until it's ready for the final/occupancy inspection.
We're not going to make our original goal of having his mom move in by December. I'm still hoping for January. Matt's hoping it's before the baby's born. ;) Regardless, passing these milestones of inspections seems significant to me.
