After waiting for 2 weeks while the Tuolumne County Inspectors were on furlough, a different inspector came today to check that the nails were 6 inches apart on the edges and 12 inches in-between on the T1 siding. This inspection had to be completed before insulation could be added to the exterior walls. Craig and Tom had finished all the carpentry work that could be done, including decreasing the height of the stairs from an 8" rise to 7 3/4". This was accomplished by thinner steps and putting them at a slight angle with a shim. Having the stairs sloping down is within code, while 8 inches isn't. Go figure. It used to be up to a 9 inch rise.
The electrician came and completed his work and the plumber also did his work. Naturally, there were additional "work orders" for all the items that weren't included in the original contract. This items are adding up rapidly.
This afternoon the inspector completed his work and we PASSED. Only one action item for the plumber. So tomorrow the insulation installation begins.
Sister and I are heading out tomorrow to see the American movie version of Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, We saw the Swedish subtitled one on Christmas eve.
No pictures for now.
