vicarzGot a text from my contractor today notifying me the home passed the plumbing inspection. That means he can pour the slab (lay the basement floor) which opens up a lot more work to get done:
Basement floor goes in, pipes connected and potentially running now that there is theoretically a drain, underpinning if that permit is good, and of course digging up the yard to reach the main water line to the street. This also allows for framing, plumbing, and electric in the basement unit as well - even storage of junk/appliances if I so choose.
Still pending are electric and framing, so walls can't go up in the main floors. I suspect and hope this means flooring may get started though. Jordan noted kissing up and telling DC how smart they are as the final steps...I wished him my condolences.
My god I'll ever live there.
Related - a neighbor in Arlington asked me about rental rates, and I found zillow lists rates really well. It seems a 2br in my area goes for 2650 on up...I suspect ours are less than that, but again...those prices do not suck. I'll stay in touch with her to see what she gets as a comparison - that'll be handy.
