I don't know if "the devil's in the details" or "the devil's in the process." Possibly both.
Most of the last two weeks I've been driving for the final inspection. The good news is that the leak in the front door and the footprint issue seem to be resolved. We have received a Waiver of Lien from the builder, and he has received our last payment. I've been preparing the foyer for the tile (sub floor layed, lines snapped, tile ordered). The oak treads on both front entrances have been sanded, stained and polyeurothaned. Similar small work has been done; thus, the details comment above.
On Friday, 5/16, the inspector came by for the last time...we thought. Unfortunately, he found three items of concern. One, installing a steel door in the garage for plumbing access, was mentioned previously and not completed. The other two were never mentioned. They are, 1) the light above the master bath either shouldn't be there or needs to be at a regulation height. He wasn't sure which and will get back to me. The second, the outlet by the boy's sinks should be in the middle, or there should be one on both sides. In both cases, there have been several opportunities to address these, including from the drawings and at the electrical inspection. Waiting until each room is nearly complete is ... very unfortunate. More to come.
