05/01/2012 Day 23- City inspection and a leak...

The city came by to give the site an inspection and we were given the all clear to move to the next stage. He wasn't the primary city inspector so we are still a bit worried about the step out from the patio door but it looks like we'll have the main inspector out to check on that before they commit to the deck pour.

Inspector on site

Mike, the job foreman did raise 2 potential issues that he noticed before the inspector arrived. First, the pressure in the lines had dropped from their initial testing. It was serious enough in the main drain that he recommended that we don't use the drain in the deep end- well that explains why they found it filled in with plaster when they tested it originally. He also noticed that it dropped in the other lines too. So instead of final prep before pouring, we'll need to do some other testing to pinpoint the line(s) with the leak(s). This should be done tomorrow- fingers crossed.

Mike was also concerned about how tightly they trimmed around the area where the hot tub will go. He thinks it will be hard to move the hot tub in and drop it into position and he recommended a different approach which I thought would be fine as long as we looked at it in more detail his next time by.

A small set back...
