...The house wasn't done. And now it's going to cost us another $150 to have yet another inspection done. Not that I blame Fred, really. His job in this process is to protect me, to make sure that everything is done properly. As proof? Here's a short-list he sent out of things that still need to be done:
- Pointing in the rear
- Proper installation of the HVAC condenstate line.
- Proper installation of the metal or flexible metal vent from the dryer to the outside. VINYL OR FOIL ARE NOT PERMITTED.
- Proper repairs of all damage areas to the kitchen cabinets to your satisfaction
- Access to the garage and any additions repairs required for the garage.
- Anti Tips for the gas range
- Warrenty papers for the roof, 10 year. Paint and repair skylight as per SOR
- Final inspections from the city
- UL cert for the electrical panel
- Water heater placed in service
- Confirm hose bib in front is working
- Confirm GFCI for bathroom as per SOR
- Weather permitting confirm operatoin of A/C unit
- Remove all debris and leave job broom clean
- Confirm all new windows operation and presents of screens.
And those were mostly things that I had missed. In an attempt to be proactive, I've called the city's L&I (Licensing & Inspections) office to check on the permits. It turns out that the electrical permit was closed out on February 23, 2012. The mechanical permit is still open. They can't even find the plumbing permit, which is positively fantastic if the city ever inspects the property or, say, I want to sell it at some point down the road.
In short, thank you, Fred! This is exactly why consultants are needed on 203K projects.
