BTW: if you didnt get a permit for the construction(and therfor the required inspection) you may face an additional fine for not following the laws in your area.

IF you dont get it inspected, and the authorities come around, NO MATTER how far along your hous is, the Building Inspector can have THE ENTIRE HOUSE CONDEMNED and your out ALL of the money you have spent. Everything may have to be redone - at your cost.

Never never never pay a contractor for his work with out an independent inspection by the proper authorities!

I am not a genreal contractor in this project, this is a home in a subdivision where all homes are constructed by the same builder. The isnpections are ordered by the builder at various points during the construction. The results of all inspections have been placed in the front window of the dining room, only one failed the first inspection(the radon system).Since that time the radon system has passed the inspection.
