The Barn, Four Trades Inspection

Once the framing was done, it was time for roughing in the electrical and plumbing. The day that I decided to rough in the electrical was one of the windiest days ever. In most builds this wouldn't have mattered, but since I was following the inspection schedule which stated that sheathing could not be put on until strapping had been inspected. I later learned that they were fine with sheathing being on, and in fact insisted on it. Thanks!

So, with some help from my brother-in-law, we ran most of the wires for the house in one day. Since it was windy, we also got plenty of sawdust in our faces and eyes, that was fun.

After everything was roughed-in, I called for the "inspection". The inspector barely got out of the car before telling me that I was not ready. But they were kind enough not to count it against me, and told me what I needed to fix and do to be ready.

I proceeded to fix some strapping, put on sheathing, house wrap, synthetic roofing felt, and shingles.

Weeks later, I passed the actual 4-way, with one or two adjustments and proceeded to insulating.
