Wait, that sounds odd.

We have submitted our plans to the county building department and we have our permit number. Thanks the wonders of the modern world, we can now plug our number into a website and watch our plans go through the various steps required for getting our plans approved. Now we just wait and hope that everything goes smoothly!

Matt did find one potential snag though – our official plans have us using a perimeter foundation rather than a cement slab. Apparently the engineering folks did that part wrong. Matt has talked to our project manager and she’s going to figure out how to fix it. Matt doesn’t think it will be too big of a problem, and I hope he’s right.

In regards to that whole laundry list of things Matt needed to do yesterday, he managed to get it all done. He even squeezed in a couple additional stops for lunch, groceries and a couple other things. The ReStore didn’t have any windows or doors that would work for us, but they did have a lot of other neat stuff. Matt picked up a mailbox for us for $5 and said that it is definitely a place I need to check out.

Today Matt is going to start on his workshed. He still needs to finish leveling the site and he needs to move the lumber around, so he said he’ll be happy if he can at least get the floor in place. He does have the camera, so he should have some pictures when he gets back.
