Judgment Day

No, not the impending Hurricane Irene, but Arlington County inspection day. How did we fare with the building, plumbing, mechanical, and electrical inspections? Well... let's see... everything we did ourselves passed no problem (yay!). However, the one thing that didn't pass was the drains/waste/vents that we paid a master plumber to do (boo!). Hmmmm go figure.... it's possible it would have passed if he showed up today when he said he would (or at all for that matter). So the inspector rejected the vents and drains, but gave us the OK to go ahead and insulate. Our insulation isn't getting here until Friday so we should be able to get the plumber and the inspector back on site early this week to get everything hashed out. We have to get the insulation inspected so we can't put up the drywall yet anyways. All in all it was good news from the inspection department.
