    Hi eveyone!

    An update:...

    Well, we did not pass, we were quite far from it...

    Both lavatories (sinks) must be vented separately.
    The laundry needs to be vented separately as well.
    There were some fitting that he wanted changed, he wanted a long bend instead of a regular bend in three places, he did not like how the pipes were secured to the structure and wanted another system for that, and there was one piece where we used flexible pipe (I don't know why... ) that he did not approve of.
    One of the venting pipes that goes horizontally was sloping the wrong way.
    He also wanted a valve for the tub spout for the anti scold temperature I don't remember how its called but you must know what I mean.

    Before the inspector came one of the plugs came off, so half the house was totally wet...
    When the inspector were there, the test ball did not fit well, so water started pouring from the second floor to the first. There was also a leak at one place.

    The only reason the shower passed as far as venting was the kitchen sink vent.

    So, it was pretty much what you guys all said, I think you missed practically nothing on your online evaluation... The drawing Mark took his time to make (thank you so much) and Tom approved of... was basically exactly it!

    The plumber said, its not a big deal, he'll fix all of that and we'll call the inspector again. The inspector did not write down a list, and said, you should be writing this down, but we were not ready with a pen and paper...

    Another thing is, when I applied for the permit, I thought a lavatory was a toilet, since there were no "toilet" on the permit to check. So I put, three sinks, two lavatories. The inspector said there should be two water closets there... he did not tell me if I need to go to the town to change it... but I think I will, just in case.

    I think the inspector was actually OK, and for me in that case its great he found all the mistakes, because now they will be fixed. Of course, I wish we won't need to wait a week now, but at least the plumbing would be done right...

    Thank you so much for all your help and support!
