Today was once again taken up with trying to overcome Oak Park village inspectors' objections.
The plumber was there first thing in the morning, putting in the fixes that had been ordered.
The electrical inspector got there early, and passed us. Yea!!
Our crew chief, Tony, put in the insulation and the vapor barrier on the exterior wall around the window.
Then the plumbing/building inspector came, and found things that the first plumbing inspector hadn't noticed--including ordering us to fix one of the fixes the first inspector had ordered.
He also showed us that the stuff our contractor used called "Fireblock" had in its fine print a warning that it was "flammable." That had to come out and concrete go in instead. Go figure that one.
So, tomorrow the plumber comes back for 30-45 minutes, and then the plumbing/building inspector comes in right after that. If we pass both of those, then the serious work begins immediately.

So 'Fireblock' is flammable!!!!! Words, people, words, they are important....they are supposed to mean something!!! How crazy. The window blocks look really, really cool. Good luck tomorrow. Love Mom
