Bracing...

Not a lot to report on today, but we were able to get 85% of the remaining bracing finished today.  Difficult to show in pictures, but it is mostly done...  I'll just say that I am very thankful for the framing nailer that my wife got for me for Christmas...  The intention was for me to build a small barn, but this works great for the bracing!

We have some loose ends to tie up with the outdoor light fixtures -- we need to get and install the outside surface -- I don't know exactly what it looks like, but it is basically a flat surface which will mount on the outside, with the wire going back through into the inside.  It doesn't sound like it will be quite the same as we went through for the outdoor outlets, but until I see the part, I won't know.  My electrician should be bringing that over tomorrow...

We are finally nearing the rough in inspection!  Can't wait until that is over!  We will finish the bracing tomorrow, and then I've got some other problems with the whirlpool and deck footing to fix before inspection...
