Hi everyone,
Brief update tonight but a solid one. We finally passed our first electrical inspection on the first try! WooHoo. We have waited 10 days for this and it finally happened. In the town of Smyrna that I live in, they are inundated with inspection requests and only 2 guys to do it, routinely getting 50 requests per day. Our inspector wasn't happy about it and I told him I am more than obliged to help him out by voicing my concern to the city council. I can't imagine if I was a contractor, electrical, plumbing or whatever and had to pause a job site for 10 days to get an inspection!
We do need to do a few things before the final:
- Identify the neutral in the sub box
- add a main breaker
- land the lines
- seal the hole in the top of the box
- sheath some barn wires
- remove halo
- backfill then place halo on top of backfill
- complete the halo circuit
Sounds like a lot, but its not, easy stuff!
With the inspection done we can now move on to the following; backfill overdig, install liner, fill pool, complete plumbing, turn everything on! pretty much everything but final concrete. So we have our work cut out for us over the next few days, might as for a day or two in PTO to knock it all out.
In addition, we have to do some rework as it relates to the liner bead tracks. When we unrolled the liner last week I noticed a bead alongside the back of the stairs and it clicked...those were the extra pieces I knew nothing about! We did not get instructions on how to do the tanning ledge and steps it was my best guess, I was mostly right except for installing the bead track level with the vermiculite floors. I used an angle grinder with masonry blade to cut out the space and we simply chiseled after that to get a good fit!
See the cut along the wall into the concrete, all of that has to come out and make room for a slim piece of aluminum extrusion that is the liner bead track
This stuff is not good for you, proper PPE required
Bead track now in place, once all finished I will use self tapping screws to secure!
That was enough for today, in between a full day of work / presentations...stay tuned, hopefully an exciting few days to come!
