Me and my oldest at 20 months. I lost 30 lbs building the house.

And still got that Home Depot nail apron.
No recorded work for the 23rd, but here is a look at pocket door framing for the office.

Electrical rough in inspection failed, a couple small issues.
They considered all of the dining area to be kitchen, had one circuit feeding outlet on other side of wall. Also couldn’t feed outside GFI from the inside GFI. Think they also didn’t like how I combined some grounds for multiple switch boxes.

I'm seeing in new construction that they are putting the GFCI outlets right next to the main breaker panel. Power comes from the breaker to the GFCI outlet, then to the bathrooms, kitchen, laundry and any other wet areas that need GFCI protection. I've seen as many as ten GFCI outlets next to the main panel box.

I've never saw that. Odd, but I guess it serves the purpose?

They would not have accepted that as they said kitchen circuit could not serve anything else. Outdoor gfi had to be on it’s own circuit, could not be on the kitchen gfi. They would not have let a kitchen circuit start in the basement.
My bathroom outlets are all on one gfi, located in basement bath, then goes up. Other outlets marked with gfi sticker.

I just fixed it to what they wanted, was minor work.
