framing inspection approval

[Designer]

Yay! Building inspector approved the framing for my remodeling project.

Plumber is well started. Picked up the shower receptor and faucets. Called my electrician. Selected some lighting fixtures. Reviewed project with the homeowner. Assisting the plumber today, and general cleanup on the weekend.

Yes, I'm still getting instructions. Like something that is needed at rough-in. Good thing she mentioned it now. I only have to cancel one small order and purchase a different item, so no big deal.

I thought I understood what I was supposed to do. I got all the same style of lights, but then she told me that she doesn't like fluorescent lights.

Oh.

Back to the store.

Found some fairly similar ones that are not fluorescent.

[Designer]

you doing recessed?

No, not this time. I put in 7 recessed lights in our downstairs bathroom, but I'm not a big fan.

Lessee....Stairway, corridor, upstairs bathroom, a walk-in closet and fan-lights in two bedrooms.

[Designer]

Oh, I've already hired one here in Ames. Sorry, I had no idea you might want to travel up here.

Well! Just for that, I'm taking your name off the Lens Across America No 4 list.




j/k!

LOL! Considering my experience with the last LAA, I'm probably not going to suffer much.

I said I was sorry!

Seriously though, we have had the same electrician for over 40 years, and he knows us and we know him, and I know how he works, and he's local.

Maybe next time though.
