Failed inspection puts a stall on building

We came on site today to find out that we failed the inspection, so we were unable to get started on the weatherboards.  Inspector pulled up on things like holes in the building wrap & missing stop ends on the flashing.
As we couldn't do any building, we concentrated on cleaning the site up & fixing the problems indicated by the inspector.
Once done, some of us fixed up cavity battens (as they were in the wrong place), finished off bits and pieces

Also started to run the string lines for the weatherboards.  We aimed to have it run 6mm off the window flashing but found that when using the level our lines were out a bit.  We will restart on Monday to get the lines right.  This is important to do, as otherwise the weatherboards don't sit in line with each other.
