Monday was a lllooonnnggg day. I woke up early and was on-site at around 7:15. Today was a full day, There were two major appointments on the calendar:

City Building inspector’s visit at 8:30am to give us the green light on the next stage.

Contractor’s visit for the spray foam insulation at 10am, which had to be postposed to noon due to a slight mishap with the trailer.

The framing and roofing inspection was anti-climactic. The work done by my contractors was excellent and the inspector agreed. So that got signed off.

And the meeting with the insulation contractor was very educational as well as a reminder as to how much insulation will have to be done. It is so easy to forget those little details (like floor insulation). I am both looking forward to the quote, but not looking forward to how much it is going to cost.

Besides the two appointments, my father-in-law and I dumped the trailer load first thing after the inspection. As I mentioned we had a slight mishap. The right trailer tire blew while the trailer was fully loaded. No damage (other than the tire, that one got shredded), so with about a 1-hour delay (take tire off, drive to store, get new tire, drive back, put tire on, pull trailer out of the ditch) we got to the dump.

Right after we finished the first dump, we went back to the house and loaded the trailer with the stuff I had put together early in the morning, prior to the inspection. We also took all of the wood that was stacked up on the ‘crooked porch’. We just finished loading the trailer and then the insulation contractor showed up (perfect timing).

After that meeting, my father-in-law and I dumped the second trailer load at the dump and went back to my in-law’s home. After a hearty meal I went back to the house and worked from about 3pm-9pm and here are the pictures I took then.
