Well, the majority of the class (6 out of 11) were gone this past weekend. But the remainder of the class got a lot done. As we were leaving for the 402 trip to Austin, we found out that all our rebar for the slab, all the 2x12 for the form work and all the siding for the house was getting donated and being sent to Ruston the next day. I really don't know what we would do without the generosity of others, its really amazing! So we the people on the trip and the people still in Ruston had to coordinate via phone all weekend. But the people that stayed worked really hard with the help of LaTech Habitat for Humanity Chapter and the Ruston Habitat for Humanity Chapter to get most of the form work for the slab done.
BUT, as soon as we got back....there were problems. Morgan and I went to the inspector's office because we are still do not have a permit. The reason we haven't gotten a full permit is because of pier system on half of our house. But we did get a slab only permit that morning. Well, later that day, Mark Joiner (the inspector) went out to our site to check things out. Poor Ashley was the only student out there and got an earful from Mark. He said our house was to close to the site line, we weren't suppose to be doing the form work without the permit, along with some other stuff. It gets worse...all this stuff was "wrong" and he is going to be in court for the rest of the week, so we can't talked to him to see what codes we are violating. So for the past couple of days I have become one with the IRC! I figured out a solution to our pier problem...I hope, but as for the bldg restriction line....we can't figure out where he's getting is info from. I LOVE CODES!!!! (not really).
