Not so fast

"And we move in Tuesday," he said. Yeah, right.

It seems the inspector didn't file a final pool electrical confirmation, so the whole thing has to be done again. And the gas company didn't get their work inspected either (didn't know it had to be, but silly me).

So . . . I hightailed it to the building department with the electrical final, but Carolyn couldn't get the inspector on the phone, so she scheduled the regular electrical inspector, Terry, who's well known as a tough guy.

He came through the door, saw the signed permit, said he'd call in an approval, made an appointment for his gas inspection Wednesday morning -- and turned right around. So much for tough.

Carolyn, meanwhile, let me know she'd have the Certificate of Occupancy ready as soon as the results come in. Did I say yeah, right?
