Updates...infamous garage service door, peace in power and progress towards "getting under roof"

Story #1:
So, back when we were doing the concrete FB Bill had mentioned in passing he was surprised we didn't have a garage service door to the exterior. We didn't think much of it, as our plans had passed permitting. However, being the worrier that I am, I decided to research code and ordinances and low and behold found this little gem...Life Safety Review: Means of Egress -Garage; specify service door size and location....
So, I reached out to my helpful buddy at county (oh yes, he didn't realize he hadn't heard the last from me) to confirm what I was seeing, only to find out that he now could hold our permit as an example to his staff of an item they missed. Yay (said sarcastically)! Really though, better to find out now and frame appropriately for it, vs find out at the framing inspection and have to tear out to put it in. It doesn't look so bad where we put it anyway. And there are more expensive problems that we could have than an extra door.

Story #2:
After passing our electric service inspection, Comed also came out to inspect and then placed the work order/ticket for the hook ups. I was told it could take up to 14 days. Last Friday (7 days) the hooks up were done and this weekend the peacefulness of The Triple V was restored. No more generators. Everyone is happy; us, the carpenters, the neighbors, the deer.

Story #3:
Has anyone noticed all the rain? Ok, I guess that was a silly question.
Well,  it is not helping. The guys are down to 2-3 day work weeks. But as frustrating as it is for us, I am sure it is for them too. To give credit, the walls on the second floor ARE going up and the new plan is to have the measurements done on Wednesday for the trusses to be built. I'm told that will take a week and then we can get them in and sheathed. Perhaps we will be under roof in a couple more weeks!  In the meantime, the roofer asked for our decision so he can place the order tomorrow, before prices (possibly) go up. We'll be going with Certainteed Landmark Pro in Georgetown Gray. I know, roof shingles/colors are not that exciting, but a decision is a decision afterall.
