The building inspector came around yesterday and everything went well. We have one more visit due. This is when the building work is all finished. Usually before moving in.
On his way out, he mentioned that one of the things that they would check on final completion would be the carbon monoxide detectors. Apparently, we need a carbon monoxide detector in every room where there is a solid fuel stove. It can’t be a standalone one (those cheap battery operated units), but must be connected into the same circuit as the smoke detectors.
This is a bit of problem since some of the ceilings have now been plastered. The electricians have had to cut a couple of holes in the ceiling to pull a new set of cables through. It could have been worse – the rooms could have been decorated!
