HERE WE GO.

Building permits are in.  The bald eagle is perched happily in a tree.  The construction drawings are finished.  Contracts are signed.  Today officially marks the first day of the construction phase.  The crew at Model Remodel is estimating 5.5 months which puts us at the end of August.  Fingers crossed that it goes as smoothly as possible. 

TAKING OUT A CONTRACT.

We’ve reviewed the bids, searched the couch cushions, sold some plasma and made a decision on the contractor for the construction phase.

 

We’ve selected Model Remodel for construction.  Jason and the crew did a great job during the demolition and we were impressed with their eagerness to work on the project as well as their environmental considerations.  We should begin construction early next week.

PERMETTEZ – MOI.

Exactly one month after Anna hauled a check and a boatload of paper to the city, we got our final building permit (along with giving the city another check of course).  Anna retains her 100% rating with the DPD, only tiny little changes were required and the potential bald eagle / blue heron conundrum has been averted.  We’re papered up, looking into the contractor bids and searching every couch cushion for loose change.  With luck, we’ll start construction next week.
