Day 30 - Busy day here. A two-man crew fabricated flashing for the roof edges and a third man worked on the soffit for the corner of the family room roof. The county inspector arrived mid-morning and signed off on the structural, mechanical and electrical permits, meaning there are no further permitting issues to complete the project. The men applied adhesive to the floor joists and re-installed the floor boards, securing with screws. They also installed all of the drywall on the wall next to the family room and attic.

The natural gas fireplace insert that we ordered in March finally arrived today for installation in our family room. A two-man crew worked all day replacing the old unit with the new one. Here are some photos of the events:
