Day Eight

YAY! We passed electrical and plumbing inspections.  They put in the hurricane straps on the exterior walls, so now we are ready for the structural inspector to come out.  The straps are hard to see, but they are at the top of each 2 x 4 and above the window.


I have a confession to make... The ceiling fan that Mr. Wonderful moved last week... Well, he had to move it back, because the cabinet door would hit the ceiling fan.  The whole mix up was my fault.  The contractor asked if I wanted the ceiling fans centered.  I said "yes", but the rest of his question was, "do you want them centered in the room?"  One room is bigger than the other.  Of course, they are not going to line up with each other.  So, the contractor, being the nice guy that he is, moved the one above the table just six inches, for me.  He really is a great guy!!
They also came in and put a new duct for the exhaust fan for the microwave.
 Once the sheet rock and the cabinets are in, they will come back out to fit it.

One move inspection and some insulation, then they will be able to start sheet rocking.  It may even be tomorrow. WOW!! Things are moving very well.
