Another frustrating day

Unfortunately, frustrating days are the norm. My tolerance for disappointment and frustration has gone up. I wasn't even that upset at how badly the day went.

I started by working some more on waxing the countertop. When C left for work he thought it would be done when he got home but I wasn't so sure. I did manage to get another section done, but the wax builds up on the pad very quickly so each pad only does about 9 square feet. Fortunately, they can be washed so I just need to get 5 or so to be able to do the whole countertop in one shot.

The inspector showed up at about 3 pm, and didn't want to do our final electrical inspection because he hadn't done the rough inspection. In a way, I understand his concern, but shouldn't that have been sorted out before he came out? When he got his schedule in the morning, why wasn't it addressed then? I think he was trying to be helpful though - he found 3 corrections without even looking and 2 of them would have required the walls to be opened up again and he said he didn't want us to have to do that. I did tell him that I need and inspection by 11/27 in order to keep my permit current, so he agreed to record today's visit as a "site visit" which indicates that he was here and work is continuing. He said to call and reschedule the inspection and then go to the office in the morning and arrange with the inspector who did the rough to switch with someone so he can handle it. Unfortunately, I called to reschedule and the city is now 9 days out on inspections so this will be a long way off.

The plumber neither called nor showed, so no sink yet. The contractor called and rescheduled for tomorrow.
