PRISONS HAVE ‘INTAKES’ TOO.

Our architect Anna took a large bundle of papers and documents (and another check) to the Seattle Department of Public Documents today to apply for our building permits.  The city calls this an intake and probably finds no humor in me relating it to a prisoner.  Thanks to Anna’s glowing rapport with the city, our project has been expedited and we should have final permits by the end of the month.  Oh, along with another check.

We did learn about a bald eagle who lives near our house who, according to the state, requires absolute silence during its nesting cycle.  This could put a crimp in the construction timing but we’re hoping that Tim (what we’ve named the eagle) won’t mind a few nail guns and jackhammers.
