They are in the end stage of building a house. They drained the pool and went on a two week vacation. Swimming pools float.

There is no tile roof under the array. The tile roofing was removed and replaced with asphalt shingles. Then the tiles are placed around the perimeter so that you can't see the asphalt shingles.

The floor is porcelain. The sheets measure 5'x10'.

How do they deal with the seams, grout, silicone? Looks nice. Notching around partitions could be a PITA...
I didn't ask about the grout. The gaps are narrow, uniform and straight. The guy that did this had not done a tile floor before now. He is from England and came to the USA to build a huge home for his sister. He is Chinese with a thick English accent. His wife is also Chinese with a French accent.

And hope that the slab doesn't crack or move!
Bonding a fence to a swimming pool equipotential bonding grid.
There's a lay-in lug on the way. I'll get a picture.

I have used those huge porcelain sheets in commercial construction, but as wall panels. They are thin and surprisingly strong, but not unbreakable. Because they are porcelain, no sealer is needed. They install just like small tiles (with thinset) but of course they require a lot more attention to proper details.

Not an electrical inspector but not sure how they are going to address the giant holes in the wall with the panels in the way.
I’ll ask the building inspector......oh wait a minute that’s me. When they build the stairs the wall will be patched.Not an electrical inspector but not sure how they are going to address the giant holes in the wall with the panels in the way.

Is a guard / fall protection required due to the height of the wall and the proximity of the HVAC & electrical equipment to the wall?
The inspection was for conduit. There will be a fence with a bunch of lights.
At each location there are four upright rebar....next to the sidewalk.
I don't understand how people can be blind to the danger.

R908.1 General. Materials and methods of application used for re-covering or replacing an existing roof covering shall comply with the requirements of Chapter 9.
Exceptions:
1. Reroofing shall not be required to meet the minimum design slope requirement of one-quarter unit vertical in 12 units horizontal (2-percent slope) in Section R905 for roofs that provide positive roof drainage.
A dead flat roof will drain and I suppose that's positive roof drainage. The flat area slopes towards the pitched roof but is otherwise flat.
The roof that I am on is pretty much identical. Note the flat spot on the rolled roofing. It was stored with one end on the pitched roof so it now has a flat spot on each end. I don't think that I would store it that way but what do I know.

It is easy to forget that southern California is a desert.

There's a furnace in there but I can't get to it.
I am at the access which is a hole in a closet ceiling. You can see the cover on the right. This would lead to the back side of the furnace .... if it were not blocked off with duct.
