Some progress!

I know, another post all in the same day...wild!

The construction company finally came over and replaced the columns in the structural support under my shed with treated wood. That is apparently the agreement they came to with the inspector. The inspector is supposed to inspect it again tomorrow, so if he signs off on it, hopefully the tile guy will get started on the tile in the afternoon. Either way it's going to be too late and I'll have to have the hot tub stored for a week or so before I can get it installed. But that just gives the tile more time to really settle and set.

I got a call from the city with some questions about my permit for the solar install. This is news to me, since I haven't even accepted a project plan from the solar company yet because they haven't sent me the new version of the plan. The new version of the plan, of course, being required because they've been bullshitting me all this time about how many panels would fit on my roof. I don't think it was on purpose, but it's still very annoying. So I'm going to end up with 8 fewer panels (an entire "string"). Well that'll save me some money, and it'll still produce far more power than I'll be using, and likely in 15 or 20 years when I replace the panels the new more efficient ones will produce even more power in an even smaller space. So really it's not a big deal. But I haven't seen the new plans, and yet they already have a permit for the job. Neat trick! I'm sure it'll be fine.

I really have to find a tree specialist to get this tree cut back. Ugh...its going to come down to the wire on that one.
