Trenches Filled! (1/14/14)

Today we had our inspection for the plumbing downstairs.  There was one fitting that the inspector said we needed to replace with another.  Mike checked Menards, Home Depot, & Ace and didn't find the fitting; after checking with his plumber friend it turned out this fitting is not state code. Mike called the inspector back who is going to check into it but said we can leave it how we have it - yay!  

We had to put in a sump basin to pump the plumbing in the back addition because that plumbing ended up too low when it was put in.  Mike didn't have the basin in yet for the inspection so the inspector said he needed to come back to check it out before we pour the concrete.  Inspection appointments are pretty easy to get, but it's annoying that we can't just keep moving along at our pace.  When Mike talked to the inspector about the fitting he couldn't find they also talked about the basin; for whatever reason the inspector said we could just take pics of it and didn't need it inspected - yay!  

Mike got the basin put in and the plumbing run to it.  We filled the trenches back in so now they are ready for concrete - yay!  We also got the room cleaned up that the dirt was piled in, we are down to a kiddie pool of dirt and some buckets!  Feels good not to have a big mound of dirt downstairs anymore!
