We failed our first inspection. I was here when the inspector came to have a look at the beginning of our foundation. He immediately said, “it’s gotta be deeper.” Of course. Isn’t it always something. Apparently, our inspector interprets the code to mean that the perimeter of the foundation must be 12" below ground level. Robert was miffed.
So, he showed up tonight with a couple of shovels, and we went to work.
It was after 19:00, so I was already chilled out, but I have to make sacrifices for the sound shed. It was tough, but we managed to get it done in about an hour. We have our second inspection scheduled for the morning. Wish us luck.
Update: We passed the inspection! W00t! Next up is the concrete.
