An Improved Outlook

You say PERMITS? I say YES! PERMITS? YES! PERMITS? Yes!!!!!!! We officially have our build permits and we didn't waste a second. We were officially issued our permits Monday afternoon. Today, starting at 8am, workers began arriving. I grabbed a few pictures of the activity on my way out the door this morning and I loved seeing work vans and trucks filling the driveway and lining up and down the street!

Every new dumpster delivery marks additional progress

A finished house almost seems within reach now! Michael and I snuck out on the roof of the carport(soon to be garage and roof deck) the other day with a little vino to enjoy the view. Soon enough, it won't require an imagination to enjoy the coolest space in (outside of) the house. It is hard to think "chic" when you are standing on a tar and gravel roof.

I am happy that we were able to get out there when we did because they are ripping it down to studs today to re-enforce it for the deck. When I left for work this morning, things were already starting to get demolished.

After all this waiting, it is FINALLY happening. Good thing I pushed to file for permits a full MONTH before we even owned the property!!!! Michael and I are walking on cloud nine right now!
