Progress, but nothing to show

A dental appointment caused me to quit early today. I did manage to get a structural engineer scheduled for an inspection on Thursday. This is not as easy as you may think! There are not that many of them, and many only work on commercial or large projects. A lot of them said and emphatic "no thanks" after I told them where I live. The city where I live is notorious for being really hard on inspections. The building codes are a lot tougher than surrounding communities and the inspectors are more thorough. When we had the place inspected before buying it, our home inspector suggested we have some structural inspections on the foundation and retaining walls.

I also made a quick stop at the home store for some tools and supplies for my demolition, which will begin Thursday.

I'm meeting the electrician tomorrow morning, and our dumpster will be delivered tomorrow as well. Is it strange that I am excited about getting a dumpster?
