Getting ready for the inspection

We made a quick trip to the land this week to do the final corrections for our combo inspection.

Our framing crew had failed to install one I-joist, so we had to get a letter from a contractor indicating a fix. We did, and Gerald and J.C. installed some additional material to bridge the span.

I had to hold my breath. I think even J.C. was nervous on this tall ladder.

Afterward, J.C. installed steel shims between our support posts and deck.

While he was doing that, Gerald started to skin the bottom of the master bedroom. We had decided on wainscoting and drywall. The plywood is the height of the wainscot.

After lunch, Gerald and I did some deckwork. J.C. helped after he finished some last-minute electrical changes. By about 3 p.m., we had about two-thirds of the south side of the porch done.
