Would a beam by any other name smell as sweet?

We officially have permits.   When we dropped off the paperwork yesterday we were told we needed to wait until Tuesday, Jan 2nd.  Then we got a call today saying they reviewed our permit application and asked if we could come down and fix it.   Once we fixed the errors, they assigned us our permits within an hour.   So we're ready to work!!

Except for the framing.   Just in case you didn't know, pieces of wood can be 'beams', joists', 'studs', 'boards', or about 10 other words.   So when I wrote my application for the wood replacement, I just wrote "replace beams".   Apparently beams are what supports the house and if you want to replace beams you need to have an engineer come out and check them first.  But what we want to replace is 'joists' and once we can confirm that, then we can get a permit for that too.

So today, with the help of Ryan 'Dr Drywall' Donovan, we:

Painted the first coat of trim and base color on the upstairs rooms.
Worked on getting the bathroom ceiling smooth
Put up half the 1/4" drywall in the kitchen
Fixed more drywall in the laundryroom
Installed a front handrail
Fixed the striker plate on the front door - now locks easily and securely
Installed the new handle on the rear screen door
