• Plumbing inspection passed. The drain lines are capped off temporarily and the tees into the main sewer line are blocked, and then the whole drain+vent system is filled with water to check for leaks. When water pours onto the front porch from the vent stack in the roof, the hose is turned off, and we start to look for leaks. None are found. The hot and cold water supply lines are pressure-tested with air. Both system hold the initial pressure overnight with no indication of a leak.
• PVC vent pipe for water heater started.
• Exhaust lines for second-floor bathroom fans are connected together and routed to a small vent in the roof.
• Plastic sheeting finally tacked over last two window openings to keep wind and snow out.
• Drywall is delivered for installation frenzy to begin tomorrow.
