apparently here in okla we are being required to do 1 also, i helped my buddy replace his tank and he said when he moved in they made the previous owner install a expansion tank. the vac breakers on the hose bibs is pretty dumb. I take care of about 50 duplexes on the side and I just pull them off when they go bad. I get what they are for, but really how often does it happen that it would back feed up the hose and into the water in the house.

those are really minor issues, glad you got it done and can move in. 

so I assume you live in a house now, have you had to postpone selling your current home because you can't move in? that would really suck lol

 
I could tell the emotions when we talked.. Great job bro.. Now get the furniture scheduled and start living your best life

I replaced my water line from the meter to the house a few years ago and I had to put those stupid things on, after the inspection I took them off. DON~~~

 
Not sure if #7 is something you have , but I would be a little worried about getting that one passed off when the time comes. 

More permits & engineered drawings spells out inspections that you may or may not of had resulting in exposing footers.

Yeah that one would wake me up at 3am.

We're trying to keep the retaining walls to a minimum height. Below the 48". Move in, take our time with the design, coverage of the ground. Once we're in, we're in.....Call for a final someday. Peace

Insurance company will probably want a copy of the CofO in order to cover you. So the someday might be sooner than you think

Damn!!! Didn't think of that! I was informed by the insurance company that I needed to show proof of living in the house. Peace

 
We're cleaning up the back yard. Just burned a tree in this pit. Had to cook overnight. Talk about deliciousness. Can't wait to indulge! PIT cooking is awesome. Peace
