Finally. we got approval on the plan revisions and a release on the job copies at the building department. This means that we can resume construction! Today, Chelsea and I went to the building department to pick up the revised plan stamped by the county and paid the $75 red tag we received for violating their terms. Boo! Now I have to take the plan to the permit box on Sunday afternoon for our inspection on Monday. Hopefully the inspector will not find any problems and we can be on track for a Tuesday slab pour.

Now we are scheduled for a slab prep / stem wall inspection. When those inspections pass tomorrow we will be on schedule for Monday’s slab pour. This is getting exciting now!

Footing Inspection is late http://buildmyfirsthome.com/2009/06/our-first-delay-footing-inspection-is-late/ http://buildmyfirsthome.com/2009/06/our-first-delay-footing-inspection-is-late/#comments Mon, 08 Jun 2009 16:09:44 +0000 admin http://buildmyfirsthome.com/?p=117 Well, today marks the first delay in our construction process. We were on schedule for a Footing Forms / Wall Footer inspection and they decided to wait until the last minute to to get it done. Hopefully its not too late to get my concrete guys out there so they can pour the footers prior to major rain on the schedule for today. The good news is we got an approval! Woo Hoo!

UPDATE: Just got word that our footing pour is scheduled at 10:00 a.m. Please don’t rain! Concrete and rain do not mix well.
