We shouldn't have been surprised, but none the less we were. Friday didn't work out as smoothly as we hope
d. We passed the electrical inspection yesterday! That left only three things: fire inspection, final inspection, and sign off on punch list. The first final inspection at 10am didn't go so well. They had four issues that would require the electricians, ADT, and the fire sprinkler company to make a few changes. Woody and I had to go eight miles to get a lock for the PIV. Eight miles, 8 miles, no big deal, right? Well, that turned out to be an adventure since we didn't know we had to go until 5pm. So the eight miles turned into an one hour and ten minute trip due to 5 o'clock rush hour traffic. But again TEAM WORK saved the day! All companies sent their guys over and by 7pm the fire marshal came out to inspect again. WE PASSED. The final inspection however was rescheduled for Monday morning. The electrician finshed all the remaining items on the punch list. So as soon as we pass our final inspection with the City on Monday the General Manager will sign off on the punch list. Tomorrow or Monday, Woody & I will need to install the bar tray holder at the bar and paint a couple of new electrical lines. At that point we will be able to leave Chili's knowing we've done a complete and excellent job. Project Excellence? We hope so. This is a new contract between Chili's and Parkway, so we'll have to see what the bottom line is on this one. For now we have to pay another week at the RV park and hopefully we will leave Tuesday morning.
