The sky is falling, the sky is falling

Actually, it was just the smoke detector that fell off the wall and hit the fire marshal inspector as he was checking it. It was HYSTERICAL! He was laughing so hard about it, especially when he discovered that I had precariously perched the smoke detector on a decorative pink thumb tack in the shape of a flower. He kept saying "How did you have this thing up here?" and then he suggested that I try to market my idea. Everyone's a comedian!

Basically the inspection took less than 3 minutes, if you factor out the 10 minutes he worked at getting the smoke detector back into place. He offered me "extra credit" for the extra detectors in the bedroom, but I had to practically beg him to take a look at the fire extinguisher that I spent $25 on.

Anyway after all of the laughter and signing an agreement to be billed $75 for the 3-minute inspection. He was off. But after all of the amusement I had, it was worth it!

That means my homestudy requirements are officially met. The only requirements left for the dossier is the home study. Which means, I am officially waiting. The paperchase is pretty much over.

Talk about a tension breaker. A good laugh always helps. Congratulations!

That will be a nice tale to tell Jaci about her process.

Not sure how you got the inspector there so quickly, but I'm glad it's over. Just be grateful the smoke detector didn't knock him out!
