I met with our new plumber yesterday. He can do all of our necessary and get the tubs set, but he can't start for 2 weeks! Bummer...so much for drywall by mid-July. So now I'm shifting gears and focusing on the outside. The new goal: siding up and the exterior finished by July 15. It seems kind of crazy, but I think we can do it. I'm hoping by July 31 we have insultation in, drywall at least started, and the outside ready for grass seeding.
We had a bit of a setback today. I had our plumbing fiasco inspected today, and the inspector wasn't exactly warm and fuzzy. He failed us and said the plumber who pulled the permit wasn't the one who did the work at our house. He said things like, "It's all wrong", but I still don't have concrete answers on what in particular...our plumber just kind of gave up after doing some of the work. The last I talked to him, he told me, "He was done." I guess that meant <em>he</em> was done, and not <em>the work</em> is done. I thought we were ready for inspection. I tried to get the plates and stuff up for protecting the venting for drywall. But...there was plenty more to be done. Evidently, tubs need to be set at time of rough-in, as well as securing everything under the sun with some sort of bracket, plate, or something-er-other. I did end up talking to the inspector later in the afternoon and got the number of the master plumber who pulled the permit, and got everything straightened out with the inspector...he only knows the tip of the iceberg!!!
