Inspector

Tuesday October 23rd, 2007

The City inspector came to visit. This time we knew he was coming and Andreas was on-hand for the walk-through. All seemed well, but a few minor things need tending to & Marat will take care of those. A couple of things require the engineer to sign off on, why they don't build to engineer specs, I'll never know, but as long as the engineer comes, looks and signs off, all is well. It's just a couple of variances in the way it's actually built vs. the specs vs. 'what he's seen other places'. It's certainly not going to fall down!

He also asked some questions that indicate he really is not a contstruction expert, he is just there to enforce rules. Example: 'is the sub-floor 3/4" or 5/8"?'. Seems to me that if you need to know you should have brought a tape measure, or be able to tell by looking at it. However, he took the builder's word for it in this case.

At the end, there was not really an resolution, just that some paperwork needs to be filed.
