Not only did the under-floor framing pass inspection, but the inspector said he'd trust me to continue the insulation in the same way as the sample bit I'd laid out, and signed off on the entire under floor assembly! W00t! Now I get to spend a few hundred bucks on plywood! Whoo, flat rectangles, yay!
(Please forgive me. Laying the insulation is a whole lot like work, and I've been at it for 5 hours -- ever since the inspector left. I'm just over 1/3 of the way done, and have no idea how I thought I could finish it in a day. Fits of ignorance look a lot like fits of insanity, in retrospect.)
Bro ran my errands again today -- chauffeured me to the store to pick up insulation, where I paid for 4 bags and a $100 gift card (so I could send him to get anything I missed, later). We took home the two bags that we could carry, he went back for the other two... and they gave him three.
A $50 windfall would be lovely, but for all our flaws we're both easily guilt ridden disgustingly honest, so I sent him back to return the extra bag -- then called before he was halfway there, because I realized I'd probably need the extra, and he'd need the gift card to pay for it. The hardware store employees were very happy with us, at least.
