Will be able to start building after the inspector looks at my holes.

My first 2 holes were so tight that I just had to take pictures of the others.

It's time to build.

Got a lot done today because I wasn't waiting on the inspector...

Set the 2 6x6s and the 22ft beam (by myself). Rim joists plus a few extra to keep my beam straight and tight.

Should be ready for a framing inspection in like a day and a half of work.

Im hoping that the stringers will reach the concrete pad without having to increase the tread beyond 11 1\2". If they don't then I have to dig holes for the bottom stair rail post. If it's close and I have to extend the tread length a bit to anchor the posts to the concrete, then I have to run a bunch of decking through a table saw. Both things kind of suck.
