Here's Mike, our ever-helpful and all-round great-guy materials rep, nailing up the required hurricane hangers while the inspector chats away about hanger requirements. Which is this particular inspector's speciality. And once he explained why we were putting up these hangers, it all made so much more sense that it had when we were just reading a cryptic note from the last inspector - "Tie studs to top plate in master bedroom on ea side of window". We thought he just wanted a couple of nails in a couple of studs, like in the similar dining room. Then we thought he wanted a couple of hangers, but where exactly? By the window? Or on the actual studs further out? He wanted hangers, on ALL the studs on that wall, so that it was consistant with the rest of the northeast facing wall. OHHHH. And all this confusion was AFTER I talked to the supervisor and the actual inspector. Luckily we were on the site when this inspector showed up, or we would have failed again, and probable still not understood why.anyway and blah blah blah
The insulation was delivered today. I need to call our drywall contacts and get it set up for next week.
We are still holding $6000 in the bank, and waiting for the sale of this house to go through. I owe our framer his last $1700 now that we passed final. Land payments are deducted monthly, and our super-clean portapotty keeps getting serviced and paid for with no one using it. Insulation was bought on account, but the drywall supplier will want some money, and probably the installer will too.
