We (almost) Passed!

Just a few items to fix before the inspector comes back out this afternoon.  He let us slide on a few things (like not having the master bath vanity).  The drop-off on the back side of the house is more than 30", so, as I type, David is installing a handrail along that edge.  The electrical failed on a couple of items - no arc fault to the bedrooms (I caught that yesterday), water heater not connected (David's catch), no cover on the breaker box, and a loose ground wire to the meter.  All small enough that since there is an electrician here fixing these, the inspector is going to call the power company to authorize power once he gets back to the office.  He'll have to take pictures this afternoon when he comes back, then there's a bit of paperwork at the code office, and we'll be able to pick up our certificate of occupancy sometime next week!

Maybe I'll be able to sleep tonight without having nightmares of Richard Herrin (the head of the code office) coming out to nit-pick every detail during the final inspection!
