Framing complete, plumbing roughed-in, and electrical racing to get done. That can mean only one thing, INSPECTIONS.
Inspections are like the big toll bridge and the inspectors are the trolls. If you fail your inspections you cannot pass go or collect (spend) $200. The next month is huge for us, because I actually have two weekends off to work. So in theory we could do insulation the first weekend, an insulation inspection during the week, and then drywalling the next weekend. Then the spackler could come in, followed by the floor guy, and some quick painting which would allow us to install the cabinets after Christmas just before the new year. That would be a level of completion that we thought was impossible just a couple of weeks away.
But this whole schedule rested on the decisions of inspectors who could ridicule the slightest problem.
