Crew showed up this morning bright and early. They wasted no time getting to work with hammers, air guns, and more. Even though Wendy, Keely, Spot, and I were up and about, Deacon managed to ignore the fact that the sun was up. How he could sleep through their incessant pounding above our heads, is a true testament to the pre-teen sleep cycle.
We waited eagerly for the Rough Framing Inspector to come so we could learn what may be left to be done before moving on to the next stage of progress. Some minor woodwork (fireblocking mostly) was cited as needing to be done but then we had the egress window issue (window not big enough for fire code) and the fact that he didn't get to see the 2x10 floor joists before the decking went down. Window will be a challenge but I think there's a solution somewhere. Floor joists will be a different matter. Though we can see them through a trim gap along the stairs, not sure that's good enough for City. Hoping Structural Engineer can write a letter verifying their installation to resolve this issue.
Crew worked quickly today getting the rest of the siding up. Looks really good, though really yellow. A good coat of green and white paint will make the thing look finished. Little will people know that there's a whole world of inside work to be done.
Either way, looks like we'll be at least 3 days behind schedule and possibly more. Insulation had to be put off. Met with Peter (tile guy) and talked about how we'd like the bathroom and shower done. Seems like it will be pretty standard for him - about 4 days work. Now I just have to get schedule set to lock in his services. Hoping to find window solution tomorrow and Pedro's supposed to be back Tuesday to get the framing corrections done. This was the hardest day so far for me. Not feeling so much in control of the process right now but I'm sure it'll all work out in the end... at least I hope so.
