Bureaucrats gave up -- got my permit and - Wild Turkey - 02-08-2018
We dug the footers this morning.
"The Roost" is officially under construction.
Bad news is that I'm no young pup anymore. Cleaning out the trenches for the footers with a shovel has caused the old body to send numerous "error messages" to my brain.
It will be worth it
It will be worth it
Take two ibuprofen and eat a big supper
Sample some adult beverage and go to bed
Still got 60 feet or trench to clean out before inspection tomorrow.
Then let some younger folks pour some concrete.
Planned on having this done last April.
Oh well. It will get done!

good news. Know what you mean about shoveling, this heavy snow we got really did a number on me, not good for much else.
When do you have to start building the house?
RE: Bureaucrats gave up -- got my permit and - Wild Turkey - 02-08-2018
Not sure but it will be after I finish "The Roost" so we can store/work on things for the house.

Farmer let me use these tench clearing shovels that were like a can on a long handle. Really took out the rocks.

I'm glad you got the permit. Good luck on the construction.

Well, that didn't take long. You were a young man you when you first started this?

Yeah, it can really hurt. But congrats on persevering.

I dunno. I imagine fighting with city hall that much could make one feel like they've been digging ditch all day.
Congrats and good luck. Looking forward to pics of the build.

Got the footers dug yesterday and passed inspection today.
Will pour the footers when the next weather break allows, then the foundation block.
Remember the old song about the Billy Goat and the dam? Maybe that why my head has been hurting
