Caboose Final Sign Off Scheduled

On
21 May 2008, our backyard caboose, WP668
passed its first electrical inspection by the City of San Jose.
Last weekend, John added the exterior lights to WP668, the last big
electrical chore on his list. The final city inspection, of the electrical
and the stair rail, is scheduled for later this week. John and I started work
with the city on permits and variances in January 2007. I will be very happy
to have the permitting process finally complete!
