For the love of pete.... Who ever said you could not replicate what was existing? I know that codes have changed. Really I do. And I understand why they have changed too, but people do still stick build houses...everything in this world is not "engineered". We only added three feet to the side of the house...really only 30" if you just count what's on the inside...the rest of it is the overhang on the roof. We did not even change the roof line, just extended it. They wanted baffles up in the roof to keep the insulation from blocking the vents...ummmm we don't have vents.....because we did not mess with what was already existing...we just tied it in. Now they really want us to tie it in....cross straps and all ...really??? Just a little bit of overkill...but rather safe than sorry, we will oblige instead of argue.
I guess it is good they were kind enough to give us the conditional approval so we could go ahead and insulate and be ready to put up drywall on Tuesday.... Electrical passed yesterday...finally...so we can put in the outlets and lights and enjoy the fruits of the last 5 months of our labor.
It will be a busy weekend.
Then we are off to drywall, install cabinets and call for the countertop to be measured.
It means.....
The END is in real sight......that is if my heart survives it all...it's not been a good heart day at all...
