Overall we passed a major inspection today! All is good with a few minor corrections, the inspected the framing, plumbing, electrical, etc. We can proceed with insulation and then drywall. The first picture is the back of the house with the first coat of stucco. They will not finish stucco until drywall is completed (or else the drywall guys crack the stucco, the house is in for some pounding!). Take note of the beautiful backyard of dirt, which I have to walk thru to do laundy in the backyard. I like to call it laundry acrobatics given all the items to jump over with a laundry basket in hand, meanwhile trying not to drop anything. I still can't believe we are living thru this mess.
The second picture is John and neighbor John digging a trench for the sewer line, not sure how John talked John into this one, but he sure helped out! Thanks John! I was going to post a picture of the clog in the sewer line but thought it was too disguisting. I am pretty sure we got to the "root" of the problem. Two 45 degree turns in the old original 1937 clay sewer line did not help. One of them had some major roots in it (and some other stuff...). If I get enough comments/requests to post that picture I will, but only if you are ready.......
The last picture is the basement, the walls were stucco'd and all the rough electrical is done! Enjoy! LL
