The trick is finding wood that long
Really? Nobody is going to say "that's what she said"?
OP
Long?....at my age I was thinking "stiff"
So, not done then.

Party pooper. Tis a milestone, to justify feeling so tired and sore that It seems as if I've been hit by a truck that you were driving.
Never you mind! He's just jealous.Party pooper. Tis a milestone, to justify feeling so tired and sore that It seems as if I've been hit by a truck that you were driving.
I am too, by the way.

Hard day today.....got 75% of the ceiling panels up. Had to stop because I need more of the perforated angle used to
make the garage door track brackets out of. Not to mention that I'm exhausted.
Can't wait to get rid of the rolling platform required to get this done!

Spent today framing up the ceiling in the right back room, the last of the framing!
All the ceiling panels are up except for one small piece. Attic ladder is in. Decided to call it a day.
Wasn't quite beer thirty but it was close enough.

Well petunia!
Had my final inspection today and electrical failed. ALL outlets inside and out need to be GFI protected.
The outside outlets are the only ones done that way.

Are you just going to buy GFCI circuit breakers to handle it all?
OP
Dunno, this is on the electrician. He should have known.
Good, I hope he’s paying too. I don’t remember those being cheap either.
Sorry you have to go through this trash guy. This is the little shit that will make you crazy.

You're lucky, in a house you have to have Arc Fault breakers that cost even more than GFCIs
OP
Inspector said there are 3 fixes. Replace ALL outlets with GFI. Replace one outlet for each circuit that would protect the rest in the series. Or replace the breakers for each series of outlets with GFI breakers.
Replacing the breakers seems like the easiest to me, but probably not the least expensive option.
Whichever way you go, buy spares because their failure rate is horrible. I would never advocate that you do the minimum to pass inspection and then swap it back after your get you CO or whatever they call it down there. That's a personal risk/reward decision i.e. fire, insurance, etc.

Don't I know it! We've had a high failure rate of GFI breakers at the house.
OP
Covered up now, except for the attic. The others should be easy enough to make a guess.
I wonder how much one of those testers costs?
What inspection did you have left? I thought all was done already.
OP
Just the "final"
OP
So, now that I have the final inspection of the barn, I started the "annex".
A 11.5' x 21' addition for the Blacksmithing Shed.
The Kubota BX24 hailed the excavation just fine. Got holes dug for 3 of the 4 corner posts.
Need another body to measure for a square 4th.
Pics later, I was too dang tired to fetch the camera.

Posts set, top framed, not in the pic but got the front and back braces up and 2/3 of the retaining wall done.
