I was the GC for building my house at 10,200ft
If anyone is interested? I just passed final inspection...exhausting but worth it. I guess I should post a pic?

FKNA Shera. Good on you. Enjoy the diggs. Done forget to smash a beer or something on the front door for good luck

Congratulations! Pics please.
An especially grueling task given the last year.

I've been watching the Netflix series "Grand Designs". Takes place in the UK. Kind of crazy to watch these people sometimes spend years as their own GC and actually doing a lot of the build themselves. Anyhow, props to you Shera. That's no easy task.

We GC's adding a 2nd story to our house in Sac in '87. I wouldn't try it today, things in California have gotten a lot more complicated since then. Now my architect/contractor friend has trouble doing his own addition.
Eagerly awaiting pics.
