2 OF FINAL 3 INSPECTIONS DONE AND PASSED

On Friday we had the final plumbing inspection and final electric inspection.

The plumbing inspection consisted of the inspector flushing the toilet and then turning the shower on (hottest setting) and sinks on (again hottest setting) and then measuring the temperature.

The electrical inspection consisted of the inspector 1 pace shy of actually running through the house and sticking a tester in each outlet. He then set off the GFCI in the bathroom to make sure it worked. Less than 90 seconds total in the house.

Spoke with a buddy of mine who used to be in construction. Electrical inspectors can make as much as $300 a house with the inspection. This explains why he was running. If he could get 10 done a day, that's $3k and he'd be done for the day.

What a racket.

Anyway, the final inspection we are hoping to have for this Friday. Keep your fingers crossed!
