Workshop - Days 27-31

The replacement door finally arrived, and it wasn't built properly either. However, in this case the company was able to send someone to fix it on site.

Once the door was in place, I was able to get the last of the siding up and the outside of my workshop is complete!

I called for the final inspection, but I didn't pass on the first try. Since my workshop is so close to the back of our property, I am required to have 5/8" firecode gypsum board installed on the interior wall. Since I still have to do wiring, I hadn't done that yet.

After discussing it with the inspector, I have put up the gypsum board but have not taped and finished the seams. This was enough to pass my inspection as "substantially complete" with the understanding that I would be properly finishing the interior.

So, as of 10:30 am today, my workshop's building permit is closed. Now I can get started on the interior.
