Well, I passed 2 out of 3 inspections

[RetroLounge]

Construction Inspection: Passed

Plumbing Inspection: Passed

Electrical Inspection: FAILED. (It was a new inspector on this route...)

Fuckity Fuck Fuck Fuck...

They put a 30 day hold on my opening until the owner fixes stuff. The front window lights are not up to code, light which have been this way for years, and passed every other time they were inspected. Plus, the furnace electrical hookup is not up to code.

I hate that it is out of my hands and all I can do is hope it gets done soon...

Fuck. :grr::grr::grr::grr::grr::grr::grr::grr::grr::grr::grr:

1. Sorry, RL.

Will the repairs be done in the 30 days? Is your landlord a decent guy/gal?

[RetroLounge]

2. We'll find out. I just called him and told him.

7. Is the inspector bribe-able???

Oops, you must remember that I live in Chicago and am conditioned to think that way.

Sorry to hear about that, RL, and the damn owner had better get it fixed quickly!

[RetroLounge]

10. I'm FROM Chicago too...

Don't think I didn't think about palming him some cash. programmed in me, you know...

But since I don't own the building, my cash won't pay to fix it.

:hi:

[greatauntoftriplets]

16. Yeah, I knew you'd get it....

I work not far from where you grew up in Niles.

And I certainly hope that you are able to open soon and that the landlord isn't a douchebag.

:hi: back atcha.

8. Aw, my dear Retro...

I hope your landlord turns out to be one of the good guys...

And remember that it is really in your best interests to have things up to code...

Electrical fires in bookstores....:scared:

I'm holding the good thoughts for you......:hug:

[RetroLounge]

9. bummer!

I'm sorry for the delay. You have many friends here pulling for you.

[RetroLounge]

15. Thanks...

Just another speedbump...

17. Electrical is easier than plumbing.

Sorry that you've got this stumbling block. It sucks. BUT, tis better to rewire than to start jackhammering concrete to redo plumbing.

[RetroLounge]

18. So very true...

They will be easy fixes, I could do them myself...
