Well, we had our sheathing inspection a few minutes ago. We passed! It's nice to know we're doing something right. He also gave us some other tips, such as when we should rough out our fireplace, whether or not we can just raise the next beam we have to install or if we need to use an engineer again, and if we should place some moldy (but not rotten) panels in our roof. The answers are we should rough out our fireplace in time for the framing inspection (before we install drywall), we need to use a structural engineer and get the permit revised to raise that beam a bit, and we should replace the roof panels (that have mildew on them), but we don't have to. The turnaround was pretty good, too. We requested the inspection yesterday, and today he came. He was very nice.
So far, so good. Hooray!
The next three weekends, including this weekend, are full of activities, so it's going to be hard to carve out time to work on the house, since the next thing is installing the windows, which we can't really do bit by bit. Instead we're going to start working on installing our hedge along the side of the driveway, because you don't need a lot of time to do a little digging or laying of a few stones. Granted, we have to buy the stones, but that's not super time-consuming. I'm looking forward to doing work outside when the weather gets a little better!
