More delays

We did not pass the final building or electrical inspections today.

The electrical inspection went pretty well, all things considered.  There are a couple of outlets that need to be added and one of the smoke detectors didn't work and needs to be replaced.  This should be easy to remedy.

The building part of the inspection is pretty frustrating.  There's a beam under the one end of the house that is sagging.  This whole time the inspector hasn't said a thing about it until TODAY during the final inspection when he decides it needs to be replaced.  This is not a minor thing.  This requires a 30 ft engineered beam with a couple extra piers and will cost around $2000.  The contractor called the insurance guy to see if it'll be covered and we still don't have a clear answer on that.  We're supposed to have the contractor write up the invoice for the work and submit it to the insurance guy and then he'll decide if it's covered or not.

Never mind that we still don't have an answer on the $15k worth of additional work the contractor did that was submitted to insurance earlier this week.

I'm really trying not to stress about this.  One way or another I'm moving back into my house and everyone is just going to have to figure this stuff out somehow.  I don't have the money to cover all this extra stuff so I guess if it really comes down to it the contractor can keep a lien on my house and we'll end up in court or something.

Oh, and I pulled a muscle in my lower back so I'm in incredible amounts of pain, can't stand up and it hurts to move or stay still.  This should make moving back into the house interesting especially because I'm supposed to get all this stuff magically done in the next couple of weeks.  Sure, we'll get "help" from the ServiceMaster people again but there's a lot of stuff I personally need to move and take care of without them.  I really don't know how I'm going to pull this all off.
