Some updates on the house

Posted on the December 23rd, 2009 under First Stages by admin

Well, We had our final inspections for the trades yesterday and we passed our final mechanical (HVAC) inspection. We failed our final electrical inspection because the light that was in our master closet was a chandelier and the county requires the light to have a globe. Grrrr We also failed our final plumbing inspection because the water well did not have a check valve at the head of the pump. We are correcting these issues this week and we will re-apply for inspection on Monday morning. We also decided to add tile to the kitchen in lieu of wood floors. This was for 2 reasons. 1.) We cannot obtain a C/O without a finished floor in the kitchen. (We need a C/O to turn on the power to be able to lay the wood floors) 2.) The tile in the kitchen proves to be much more durable over time than a wood floor.

The damaged wood floors were removed from the great room and the mirrors, towel bars, and toilet paper holders were installed in the bathrooms. Soffits were built for the laundry room and the kitchen to hide exposed pipe.
