Now All We Have to Do is Build it...

If you have got anything from this blog it has been how many times Mark and I have had to learn the hard way- but those are lessons well-learned if not repeated. Many of you know the primary things we have been waiting for were building permits, final building plans, and a liquor license. As of yesterday morning we have all of those things!

The hearing was a little nerve-wracking as three permits that were up before us were denied causing me to sweat beneath my rarely worn suit a bit. Thankfully, any issues with our application had been cleared up in the weeks before as we tried to communicate as much as possible with the ATC.

I have said it before, and will say it again: for the love of God get an expeditor. We used A-1 Expeditors and were very impressed by their level of service and overall cost.

The majority of the red-tape is now taken care of and we are starting to put in plumbing this week. For just a moment though I paused, lit a cigar, and said a thankfully prayer. Feel free to join in our little celebration. Thanks for all of the support.
