Due to the delays, explained early on in this thread, my building permit expired and I have to have it renewed. More $$$ down the drain. |
Yeah, the tax man is gonna get you coming and going. I remember a time when there wasn't any permits. Now, they wanna permit to paint, put a new roof on, next thing you know, they'll want you to buy a seasonal permit to cut your own grass and do lawn maintenance. I'm glad the design is approved and I feel that the inspector will offer any suggestions if he sees something amiss. It's just when a hurricane makes up it's mind to come your way, sometimes it seems like no matter what something is made out of, if he wants it, he will have it. Don't mean to bring you down, it's just a accepted way of life on the Southeastern coast. We're way overdue for a major one ourselves and when it does come, I'm afraid it'll be another Hugo. I thought we were going to die that night. Or get hit by that train!
