Our first framing inspection was painfully delayed but was finally scheduled for October 29th then it was postponed again for nearly a month but finally happened yesterday. And there's good news at last! We passed!!
Now we can start to move forward again. First stop: Insulation.
They blew this stuff into the walls then scrapped off whatever hanged over the 2x4's. The festive result at the end of day one are these large banks of 'snow' all over the house! :)
The company that did our insulation was Ponzini Insulation from San Juan Bautista, CA
ReplyDeleteHere's my review: First of all, the men who actually did the work inside our home couldn't have possibly been nicer or more professional. They did a fantastic job but I have to give just one star because the owner let me down, BIG TIME.
We live in a city that does not permit overnight parking on the street and our neighbors (on a quiet little cul-de-sac) are extremely sensitive to this. Even after being informed that overnight parking wasn't allowed - and being cited by the police - Ponzini continued to require that his workers park on the street in front of our home every night FOR A WHOLE WEEK! His logic? Supposedly, because the $45 parking ticket was cheaper than the cost of the gas that would be necessary to move the truck to another location.
This is COMPLETELY unacceptable!
First of all, he could have baked the cost of relocating the truck into the price of the job and we would have paid it. But, absent that, he could have quite easily moved the truck to any number of other locations (off our cul-de-sac) that would have been less likely to cause an uproar from homeowners (next to the local park, for example). Yes, he would have still gotten the parking ticket but no homeowner would have been inconvenienced by his choice to insert his big ugly truck into the neighborhood aesthetic or offended by his flagrant and totally intentional disregard of City law. I'm deeply offended that he intentionally put me in the position of having to defend his selfish choices to my neighbors and friends.
