Building Our House: October 2007

We passed...everything!

We passed the plumbing inspection Tuesday.

Electrical inspection on Thursday.

Final inspection..well..almost today. We did get the green light to go ahead and move in and contact AL power to get our meter for power.

We do, however, have to insulate the ceiling in the basement but we'll get that completed this weekend. We'll get our final "Certificate of Occupancy" or CO next week.

We also had our appraisal today. I hope it went well..I don't know.

Anyway...we're moving this weekend!!!!

We failed...

Our electrical inspection that is :( We've fixed what needed to be fixed and we're scheduled for another one this week. PRAY that we pass this one.

The plumbing inspection is hopefully today..

If we pass both of those it goes on to the final inspection. If we pass that one we'll get the certificate of occupancy and guess what? WE GET TO MOVE IN.

The house that never ends will finally get moved into! Hopefully.

Anyway..enough of my babbling..onto the pictures. Which for some reason these days I can't seem to hold my camera straight.

For the first time since the garage was completed..we pulled both cars into the garage. and they fit. We can even open the door a little :)

I took some pics of the front of the COMPLETED outside of the house. Well..the front is completed anyway. I think the back needs a coat of paint.

*remember you can always click on the pics to make them bigger

and..for the first time ever I stained floors. I am so glad the rest of the hardwoods were prefinished because sanding & staining sucks.

Now..I'm headed to the house to finish up staining the bottom half of the steps.
