Inspection update

Yes, that's another rejection sticker on our bathroom window. We failed the final electrical, but just by a little bit and certainly nothing major. We had a couple exposed lightbulbs in bedroom closets and apparently that's a no-no. I guess there's a chance that the bulb might explode and clothing would burst into flames. So we went out and spent $10 on globe lights. Here's a before and after: We also had to replace a couple of the outdoor gfi outlets. For some reason they stopped working when the inspector went to test them. In order to pass our plumbing inspection we had to put a backsplash up around the jacuzzi tub. We used poplar for the trim and painted it white. Originally we were going for a white look around the entire tub but have since decided to use leftover floor boards for the decking and the front area. It's starting to look really good and the wood panelling makes a nice transition to the cork floor. Last week we called the inspectors back out and everything passed. We can now cross the electrical, plumbing and mechanical off the list. That leaves the final building and zoning, which we hope to call in next week. I'm sure we'll have another to-do list, but we've discovered that we work well with lists.
