It’s been a while since my last update and unfortunately not a ton of progress. The week of Thanksgiving the pavilion builder was able to come and dig posts and frame and sheet the pavilion as above.
Then they needed to wait for PB’s plumber to run plumbing for kitchen sink. This is where the drama comes in. I’m still not entirely sure I have the straight story but the PB says there was a misunderstanding in how they needed to plumb the sink. They had planned to run sink into same drains as pool and gutters will take excess water to the storm sewer. They say the PVB agreed this was Ok. City inspector says otherwise.
Thus there has been a 2 week delay while getting a plumber certified by my city to come and run a special dedicated drain for sink all the way around the pool and tie into my sanitary sewer. This tie-in of course required connecting to pipe under my concrete driveway.
Well on Wednesday of this past week after some finger pointing by contractors and some not so friendly calls from me, the sink drain was ready for inspection. City inspector came out Thursday and failed the drain as the plumber used the incorrect type of PVC pipe. So this coming week it all needs to be redone.
Meanwhile my project sits. The pavilion builder needs sink drain complete and inspected before they will do concrete forms for posts and counters.
PB’s decking crew needs pavilion concrete done and set for a couple days before they come in and do grading for pavers.
At least this 3-4 weeks of delays are taking place in Nov/Dec and weather has been cold and rainy so it’s not like it’s costing us valuable summer swimming days.
We started early October and now almost 2.5 months into this and still living in mud.
