I shall now count chickens

I almost hate to post this - I've been burned too many times in the past year. But, quoting Steve Krebs, "your permit is ready for you to pick up."

The home stretch

I just called the Building Department. Our application has been approved by the Fire Department and just needs to be signed off by the Building Department. The person on the phone said we should have final permits by the end of this week. I'll believe it when I see it ;)

Just as well - we're still not finished emptying the house. But, we are close.
