Things are picking up!

A lot has happened in the past couple of weeks.  We found an old cast iron claw foot bathtub for the bathroom off the loft.  It is about a 1930 and the porcelain is in perfect condition. 
It's dirty from being in storage for 10 years and the outside paint is peeling.  Cheri thinks we will scrap off the flaking paint, put new hardware on it, get the claw feet replaced or repainted black and it will be good to go.

Meanwhile we approved the final plans and the architect has produced all of the final drawing copies and the engineering calculations for us to get the building permit.

Now we will submit the request to have the two lots joined together and the building permit granted.

On Wednesday I will start a class on performing the perculation testing so a septic system can be built.

Then we start digging.  Here comes summer!

WAITING, WAITING, WAITING.......

Still waiting for the engineer to check out the plans and get them back to us... I swear, these engineers take so freakin' long with.... EVERYTHING...  Jim said that he talked to the architect a couple of days ago, and Dave the architect said that he should have them back from the engineer some time this week...

Really?

I know this will end, but when? ? ? ? ?

I checked the webcam at Brian Head ski resort the other day expecting to see grass turning green.  This is what I saw on the camera.


Notice on the left the wind sock is completely horizontal.  Oh the inhumanity of it all ,. . . . .

The Plans for the Outside are Complete

We picked up the final plans for the outside views of the cabin on Saturday.





Now all we have to finish are the electrical installs and the plot elevation view to get the building permit.  The plans are scheduled to go to the structural engineer on Wednesday.  Once stamped off we will apply for the two lots to be joined and the building permit after the perc test is completed.

We will keep you informed.
