Passed Inspection

This will be much prettier soon

A lift-gate truck is the way to go for the 350lb generator

Rerouting the drain

Sharing the good news about the inspection with Pat

Another easy-going county employee named Jeff came out and walked through the building. He signed it off contingent on the final electrical inspection, so that's all good now. I began preparing the pad for the generator, which was not easy considering the ground was frozen. I had to reroute the 4" drain line coming from the gutters in the front part of the house and garage to the cistern in back. One nice benefit will be most of it will now be below grade and unseen instead of visible. I have exactly 16 of the 4x8 cinderblocks from a previous project and intend to use them for the pad, which should be just enough. The generator must be at least 18" from the wall and as near the electrical panel as possible. Speaking of the generator, it arrived this afternoon! Michelle said I needed more pictures for the blog, so here they are.
