Slow Going

Well we're down to putting the sheetrock in my side, then we can call for the Final Inspection.

We had Mell come and do the Alarm system and he also put a Keypad door handle on one of the Man Doors.

Also in an attempt to recover our parking lot we moved our trailer, it was quite the move, beside trimming part of the roof off the pink building, we had to remove the awning from the trailer.
Even doing all the measuring and cutting the roof off and removing the awning, we still started to touch the pink building and the electric conduit of the new building and it then occurred to me that our problem was the slope of the land so we pulled forward a little and placed lumber under the tires of the trailer to level it and then was able to back it in.

Monday I will call and have the carport removed, and see what Parker building will do about our leaking doors and windows.

It's Been Awhile

Okay, it has been a while since my last post because we have been busy, there is more work in finishing a building than just putting it up. There is the the taping and mudding of the sheetrock.

Then there is the fact that we had to move the stairs because there was not enough "headroom" on the landing, and Ray brought us another interior door to use in between my shop and Stephanie's.
The Handrail had too be raised (My Fault; read the wrong building code) and Stephanie again came up with the design that made it easy to do.
We have also picked up Tile to do on the Loft floor, but that will be later, after we get the Final Inspection and painting.
So there is still lots of sanding and mudding ahead, plus we still need to cover the insulation in the south wall of my shop, then we should be ready for our final inspection.

Winding Down

With the rain coming the gutter guys came back to put the downspout on the front gutter, but one of the crew had thrown some of the pieces away so they had to use white ones temporarily. 

In the mean time the electricians had finished putting the lights and ceiling fan in Stephanie's area.
Steve and I have kept busy putting sheetrock on the rest of the walls,


Friday the inspectors for the county showed up first the plumbing inspector and that passed without a problem, then the electrical inspector showed up and there were a couple of small issues that Ben has already taken care of.
I have installed the door for the closet (Water heater room), and Ben gave us a light for the bathroom that we will put up in a grid type ceiling.
But for now I am taking a day off, just going to VEG and watch football.
