Construction Update #5

Day four of construction was a flurry of activity. Eric detected the SE corner was 2² out of square, so he pulled the stakes and fiddled an adjustment. Not sure if it was a fengshui moment, or what.
 
Hayden had worked over the weekend on revisions for the standard size Nana wall, making the theatre walls ICF and enlarging the stair landings.

 The building inspector showed up to view the foundation. I tried to explain what he was looking at. Eric returned from lunch and tried to explain. Finally, I pointed out that we had a special inspector, (an engineer) as required by the County to sign off on the forming. He wasn't so sure, but called back later in the day to say he didn't need to see anything more until the plumbing groundwork was in.
 
The HVAC guy came by and discussed the pros/cons of positive pressure ventilation vs. negative pressure ventilation. The meeting had a positive outcome.

Eric and I visited with the concrete boss and negotiated an extra $2/yd discount. Then on the drive home we witnessed a hit/run accident and helped to chase down the perpetrator.
 
Debbie and Karen traveled west to see the Street of Dreams.
 
Just another day. Concluded with a BBQ for Eric and his crew at picnic rock.
