I was hoping to be writing today that we passed our final electric inspection.  But, alas, we were stood up!  He was supposed to come early afternoon so Jim spent the morning going over everything and straightening up a bit.  He also put up our fan in the bathroom...

And the thermostat in the woodshop.  First marking the placement....

All wired in...

Since we weren't sure exactly what time the inspector would arrive, it was hard to start a big, messy project like painting.  So we decided to do a few outside tasks.  We first took apart the scaffolding that has been in front of the stairwell.

We wanted to set it up in the rear of the stairwell - Jim needs this to start working on bringing the furnace vents outside.  He first had to flatten the stones out some...

Then we started setting up the scaffolding.

 

 All done!

We worked for a little while trying to get the gravel back in the driveway area.  It's impossible to plow the snow and not scoop up gravel in the process.  We will be working on this for awhile but we got it started.

Jim worked on making a jig for some of the vent work that will be coming up...

Still no inspector so Jim decided to start trimming the bathroom ceiling.

And since we were still waiting, he went ahead and got started painting the ceiling.

Finishing up the ceiling.  Jim wants to put two coats on this ceiling just because it sees so much humidity so it was good to get the first coat done. 

At this point, it was after 4:30 and we had given up on the inspector showing up today.  After cleaning up, Jim decided to spend the rest of his time getting the Bobcat out and doing a little driveway cleanup after the winter.

Jim will call the inspector tomorrow morning.  You have to be very delicate - you definitely don't want an inspector showing up not in a good mood!
