"Pressure's Off"

For a couple of reasons.  First off, the building inspector came by yesterday to check the work that Jon and I did, and he found only one little mistake that I fixed in 10 minutes.  Actually it was more of an oversight than a mistake, and besides, I'm blaming Jon for it :)  Regardless, it was a relief to know that we had followed all the rules correctly, and that we wouldn't have to take anything apart and redo it

Of course the other important confirmation that I got was that the motorhome fits inside.  It's 2 feet longer, and almost a foot taller than our old one, and although I had carefully done the necessary measuring before we started, it was a relief to know that I hadn't screwed that up either.



Of course that was without the doors on, and sure enough it would no longer fit after my friend Pete installed the doors.  That's okay though.  I knew that as well. I just have to make some minor modifications to the back wall to accommodate the ladder which sticks out about 8 inches.  I can't however make those changes until after the building inspector comes back one more time, because what I need to do will definitely break the rules....don't tell anyone...


It's all really coming together well though, and while it's not perfect, I'm overall very happy.  It's still gonna take a week to finish the siding/soffit/fascia/eavestrough, but sometime next week we should be able to call it done.  My priority over that time frame will be doing the electrical.  Not to worry.  I generally know what I'm doing and if I get stuck I simply call brother John, and he makes up an answer for me.

And specking of brothers that know everything (this one really does), a special shout out to Larry today.  Sorry bro that I've been so preoccupied with my own business that I haven't checked on you.  Larry is recovering from cancer surgery, and while I don't know it for a fact, I trust he's doing well or else the Rooyakkers grapevine would have told me otherwise.  Peace Larry. In my world, you are a man amongst men!  Love you to the moon and up!
