Bummer! Failed inspection! He named 3 things(unfortunetly I wasn't there)
(1) no over lap on the corners of the top plate ( You can't over lap it because you have a parallel wall meeting a angled wall so I used 3x6 tie plates which he couldn't see because they're sandwiched between 2x4's)
(2) couldn't see my 4' o.c. augers on the east side( this was supposed to be a framing inspection, the augers were inspected in the foundation inspection and on the eastside they were covered by the flooring.)
(3) Didn't use H2x5d straps on plate to rafters( my fault here as I went by a different set of blue prints that had the roofing details and they just used a straight strap going up the wall stud into the top plate and then into the rafters.)
However after a quick trip to the Building Dept. one of the ladies called him up(he had went home already) and he gave the OK to go and felt the roof as I was worried as we have a hurricane in the Atlantic as of now. So Monday I hope to have a word with him and at least straighten out the first two things.

Depending on his mood, he may let it slide. Especially since it's just an outbuilding. When you start adding plumbing and electrical, they tighten up quite a bit. Good luck with it. I'll keep watching your progress.

Kool passed the final and now I just finished 2/3rds of the electrical. I'll post some pics when I finish the inside. I have 2 days to finish it so I can move my toys in there, otherwise I'll have to pay for another months rent($285) at the storage facility.

Hey, stop. You are supposed to move in with everything semi-finished and plan on doing the finishing when you get around to it. :)
You are making me feel inferior; last week I finally finished the painting in my home workshop that I started about six years ago.
I do have to admit (very grudgingly I will have you know :)) that it is a very well done job.
-
Oh don't worry it won't be completely done by the time I start bringing stuff in which will be this Tuesday.(got a couple of extra days from the place I rented my old shop from)

Nice work, Zip!
That went fast, too - probably one of your goals.

Yeah I had get everything out of the old place to avoid extra charges. Now hopefully the wife will get me some of those kool shop bar stools from BigLots and that will add some finishing touches.

Very nice
Watching your build come together has been a bit inspirational for me to get off my duff and get more of mine done :D
