Got a ride in with @throet and a few others sunday at MT lakeway. Second MTB ride since hurting my back and I lived to tell the tale😁 Feels good

I saw my first wildflowers of the year today. We are always a few weeks behind Austin. Today was another amazing day of bird migration - three large flocks of Sandhill Cranes flew over while I was riding, necessitating parking the bike and looking for a window through the trees to watch them pass. I would be okay with about six more months of today’s weather!

They were receptive, and they're in a transition to a lot of online stuff where homeowners do a lot more of this instead of contractors with experience. My perception is that the system went from one where you showed up in person (and I've heard horror stories about how long you would wait) and you could hash it out in person once you got to see someone that knows what they're talking about, to now you don't get to hash it out with someone that knows what they're talking about. I think they were also receptive because I believe I sent 25 e-mails over a week as well as called about it. Neither one of us liked it. I was generally offering constructive criticism and offered my help. I imagine they largely get many angry anti-government types most of the time.

The final inspection (CO) is more cursory than anything else as by then its all closed up. Each of the inspections along the way Plumbing, Electrical, Mechanical, Life Safety are all the real ones before you can close up the drywall/ ceiling. The "Final" inspection by the Fire dept makes sure there are no obstructions, that you have all the life safety operational, the building dept makes sure you dont have any code violations. Usually both are fairly quick if youve got yourself in the right place.
