Thing are happening with our build finally. Today I turned in all the paperwork for our permits. I first went to the Building commissioners office, where I had to ask for help on one section of the application because I wasn't sure which numbers went where, thankfully they were helpful and the building commissioner looked at the plans and filled those numbers in the correct place. Then he gave me an address for our property. Then he told me he would call me when the permit was ready and they would tell me the cost then, and it would likely be in the afternoon. Then he showed me the short cut to the next office I needed to go to for our drive way permit.
I had to go to the engineering department next for a driveway permit, seriously had to pay the city $10 to put a drive way in, like seriously the cut is already at the curb you are gonna make me pay to put rocks down. Okay what ever I guess and at least it wasn't more than $10.
My next visit was to the Health Department, now that I have an address I can pull the septic permit. I called ahead to ask a question so he knew I was already on the way and had the permit already done, so I quickly paid the $115 in fees for the permit and was on my way.
By now it was lunch time and this girl needed food so I took care of that and after lunch tried to get other things done but the one lady I needed was out to lunch, and then I found out the permit would not be ready for pick up till tomorrow, so I decided to wait to talk to the Tap and Tile Lady for the water hook up in the morning instead of waiting for her to come back from lunch.
Our Septic system can now be installed anytime, and after tomorrow the rest of the construction will be able to start. At times I felt like we would never get to this point, but we are finally here and it has me excited. I might have gotten more done today but yesterday I notice something wrong with my tire and had to go have it fixed before doing anything. that is a story for another post which I plan to write either in a few hours or tomorrow sometime.
Over all today was productive and I am pleased with the progress and tomorrow everything else should be completed. And soon I should be looking at a real home and not this photo shopped home I placed on my land to keep me motivated when I feel frustrated.
Hope to have so ground breaking photos this week or the beginning of next week.
