Inspection
Had the inspection yesterday. More props to Town of Apex. Inspector came about 10am, I halfway didn’t expect to see him until the afternoon. I passed! He had two things for me.

1. attach the ground wire to the electrical housing.
2. make sure to insulate under the floor

I got to the office around lunch time. Nice.

Insulation
On the way home from work I stopped and picked up the insulation. If you can build your frame 16″ on center you will save yourself a whole lot of heartache! The floor was 16″ on center and the walls were 12″ The floor insulation when in to place with little effort. I had to cut each and every one of the other strips (batts?) of insulation to get them into the wall frame. Insulation only comes 15″ wide and the wall needed 11″.

Oh well, a little more time, I’m learning right? Here’s what we look like now:

Already called and ordered the insulation inspection. I’m working on getting some house wrap from a guy on craigslist and I already have the drywall. So hopefully will get to hang the drywall after the inspection tomorrow and will probably try and get the house wrap hung as soon as we dry out around here(been. It’s been raining quite a bit around here, in the time it takes to let the osb dry out a bit I can get that house wrap from the guy on craigslist.
