It's still there. That's about all I can report.

Seriously, we're making progress....slowly but surely. Right now we're working on finishing all of the systems that need to be done before the walls can be closed in: electrical (90% complete), plumbing (50% complete), HVAC (25% complete), fire sprinklers (20% complete).

We made it past one MAJOR hurdle, which was the water meter for the fire sprinkler. It was a nightmare to figure out. Since what they were requiring of us was a little sketchy, and unconventional, everybody and their mother had a different opinion about how it should be done....including the inspector the first time he came out. (For the record, it has not escaped my attention that we always complete this kind of project JUST in time to call for an inspection after Curtis has to go back to work. *I* am the one who has to look the inspector in the eye when he balls be out about what we did wrong and what is screwed up. I'm on to you, Sweetie. ) Anyway, 3 quotes, one big ass trench up the neighbor's lawn, 8 hours for me at various suppliers and talking to inumerable "experts" and plumbing parts supply houses, and one brilliant husband and two great friends later....it was "creatively engineered" enough to get past the inspector. Whoo hoooo!!!!




My boy...the SUPERVISOR.
