On May 1, 2003 we met
again with our financier to turn in the final cost breakdown and a copy of
the contract between us and Mike Kenley (our builder). Then we all went down
together to begin the permit process at the local planning and zoning office.
Our first step would be to acquire a Temporary Living Quarters Permit that
would allow us to live in our existing house while we were building the new
house. However, we ran into a little snafu when we were told that it would
take four weeks before that permit could even be issued, which would in turn
hold up the building permit! After some discussion we were informed
that we could solve the problem by simply removing the stove from our kitchen.
Then we could comply with their description of not having kitchen facilities.
Oh well, if that's what it takes I guess! So we agreed to remove our stove
and pay the $45.00 for the one time inspection to prove that the stove had
indeed been removed. Then it was time to move on to the Building Permit
application which we learned would take about two weeks to be approved. So
we filled out all the forms, left two sets of plans, engineering sheets,
$270.00 and we were all on our way to the County Health Department to apply
for the Septic System Permits! More forms, another set of plans, $315.00
more and we were finally done for the day. |
