The push this entire Summer has been to get KnArrow Haus insulated and heated so that we can work on it when the snow falls.
After retrofitting the cleanouts above all the slab pipes, Katie and I ran up Monday evening just to ensure that we could successfully complete the waste stack test. Basically, you fill it all up with water, and make sure it holds water and doesn't leak over a 15 minute period.
If we pass all these, we will have clearance to insulate. Our insulation contractors are standing by.
We spent yesterday (Saturday) cleaning-up, making sure all our nail plates and support straps are installed. Made sure all the toilet flanges were anchored down. I mounted brackets on the water shutoff so that it's permanently affixed. And Katie did a massive clean-up, sweep and vacuum on each floor.
Hopefully our inspector is in a good mood Monday morning. Cross your fingers. Knock on wood. Say a prayer.

With the confidence that we can pass the waste stack pressure test, I scheduled the following inspections for this coming Monday.
- Rough Framing
- Shear Wall
- Rough Mechanical
- Rough Plumbing
- Chimney Rough-in
