Well, tomorrow is the day I will have a building inspector come to my house and judge my work of building a covered patio. Wish me luck, even though I have followed the regulations of using 2x8 joists that are 1 foot off center and 4'x6' posts, I am not happy with it being out of square and boards are warping here and there.

Update: The inspector came, looked at my work, made a couple of comments and signed the permit which I returned to the permit office and am now awaiting a "Certificate of Occupancy" which I think is funny since it is a 14'x15' cover over my existing patio but at least it is legal to be occupied.
