By this time, our pre-drywall inspection should now be completed, and insulation should be installed. As of tomorrow, the project starts the drywall – a step that is supposed to take 7-10 days. From there, we move into hopefully cosmetics and other finishing touches, hopefully still on target for a closing date near the end of the month.
Barring any major issues being discovered, the home has moved along quickly recently, though we are still a month or so behind schedule (thanks to a delayed start). With our last walk thru, all the wiring, plumbing, and network lines have been run. All the framing is done, the windows are in, and the room is completed. City utilities have not yet been connected, though that will likely take place soon as well – they will need electricity at least to continue much more work in the basement.
We have our private inspector visiting the build today, to do the formal inspection, though the city of course has already done theirs as well. We opted for the private inspector, since we are fairly limited in our knowledge – this is insurance to make sure that there are no major concerns in quality that we would be unable to spot. Though I am confident in the city inspectors, they have a tendency to judge based on minimum requirements for code – our inspector is instead focused on any issues and concerns.
