So we got the final floor plans and outbuilding plans. Worth every penny, they are perfect! Or at least I hope the county thinks they are perfect and issues our permit pronto.
So I headed over to county to submit the permit applications and drawings and that was fun. I asked if we could pick out our own address. That got a good laugh.
But actually it went pretty well. Our architect had given us a name of someone to speak with, who I called in advance. He was very helpful and gave me a couple pointers. I did also try to sweeten the application, literally. I brought donuts. I can hear you all now, and no, I am not trying to bribe them. It's just my way of saying Thank you...in advance.
So, lets see what happens in another week, will we have an address?
What about 2 weeks from now, will we have permits?
Guess you'll have to tune in to find out.
Did I mention that I also picked up our APPROVED Septic and Well PERMIT
from Environmental & Health. The Planning & Development team
needed it anyway, as part of their permitting packet.
By the way, we are having a party this weekend at the property. I am calling it the "we submitted our plans for permit approval" party. But really it's a party to cut down more trees, clear more brush and split logs. The weather is turning spring-like, the permits are submitted and we are getting all our contractors bids. Things are starting to move along and hopefully before too long I'll have some cool pictures of house building progress!
