I worked on finishing the framing for the bathroom last weekend. I didn't get quite as far as I had planned, because along one wall I need to notch all the 2x4s to fit against the main beam and around some wiring that I can't move (yet). A pain in the butt.
But we submitted the wiring permit application. It turns out you don't actually get a permit in exchange for the application and $40. You just call in when ready for the rough inspection. According to the inspectors office, people routinely do the rough-in first, then file the application. I had been hoping for some feedback from the inspector on my wiring plan... but I guess not. Apparently he really doesn't subscribe to the view that the inspector is supposed to be helpful; he simply ensures that the work I do isn't dangerous. That's OK; it is exactly what he had told me going into this.
On Sunday we bought the all the lights for the bathroom/laundry room except for the vanity light. The others are all recessed lights and under-counter lights, which I need to have in hand when I do the rough wiring, which should happen this coming weekend.
