So after two weeks, we are back in business. We worked directly with the inspector to have the stop work order removed and this guy was the nicest guy ever!!! Yes you are reading that correctly, this inspector was extremely helpful, easy to work with, and the reason the stop work order was removed so quickly.
Now that we have all of the correct permits, we are ready to move full steam ahead. First order of business, taking down the mud room off the back of our house. The mudroom needs to be removed because it was built directly on top of the ground, without footers, so it's sinking. The floor from the kitchen to the mudroom was super uneven because of this. Removing the mudroom will allow us to excavate for new basement stairs, waterproof the back side of the house and ultimately build a new bigger, badder mudroom.
