The basement has begun to move along nicely since the inspections were finally done at the end of May. In fact, my dad is downstairs right now, sanding the second layer. Then, we can get the finishing parts in there and make everything smooth and nice. The drywall still needs to go on the back side and stuff, but that can be done anytime before the final electrical inspection.
We got the letter regarding the placement of the electrical meter and the air conditioning unit and I'm still not sure what the hell any of it means. I'm hoping that Jake's dad might have more insight into electrical codes for meters and such, but I'm STILL not sure what we have to do to fix it. The letter was incredibly vague (first of all) and second: the idiot at the City sends the letter June 11 and tells us that we have until July 3! to fix it. JULY 3RD!!! Are you fucking kidding me? That's less than 3 weeks from the date that I received the letter -- how the fuck are we supposed to get all of that fixed in three weeks -- especially since the letter says that we have to move the air conditioning unit and the meter? Or something. I'm not really sure to be honest -- like I said, it's really vague, for something so specific.
And on top of that, my dad STILL hasn't called the electrician about it!!! Geez. We've know since the inspection -- if it were me, I would have called right away to find out what the fuck we were supposed do. I'm so frustrated with all of this. If it were just us, we would have just done all this sans permit.
Anyway....

I have 10 business days left until vacation -- I don't count the weekends, because I don't have to do anything. ha ha.
I have a countdown on my computer at work.
Nothing much else going on. Just here to express my frustration at the whole permit situation in the City of West Allis. :)
