Final inspection passed

The inspector came back today, and everything passed!  The house is now officially (legally) habitable.

Ducts and an exterior vent were installed for both bathroom exhaust fans.

These are the ducts that were added to the fans.

The silver-colored sheet above the rafters is a thermal barrier the reflects almost all of the heat from the sun away from the house, keeping the house nice and keep even on hot, sunny days.

 This is the vent--the little one to the right.

We also obtained a letter from the manufacturer of the door stating that the glass used is safety glass, and that was good enough for the inspector.


Today, we got another delivery of lumber in preparation for the start of construction of the main house.  The area in front of the house is starting to look like a lumber yard.

This is mostly 2x4s for the walls and 2x10s for the framing and joists below the floor.  The tarps are to prevent damage from the sun (cracking of the ends and warping).

These 18-foot 2x4s will become 9-foot wall studs.
