Wednesday

It’s day 3 of construction at my new place. Just when it felt like smooth sailing, the city put up another roadblock. I’m doing my best to stay positive, but it is extremely aggravating to deal with the ridiculous paperwork they are requiring. I’d understand it if I were tearing down structural walls. I agree this would require drawings from a structural engineer. But all I want to do is add 3 walls, one for a guest room, one for a master and one for an entry. To add fuel to the fire, my contractor is building the walls to the same standards of the developer who recently completed the same type of construction. However, for some reason, the city needs 4 weeks to look at my plans to approve (after realizing this 3 weeks into the permitting process). At the end of this, I may understand why many people try to avoid dealing with the city at all cost.

Eventually, there will be a wall next to the guy on the ladder, creating a guest room.

My front door is the furthest to the right. One day, there will be a wall along the blue tape line on the floor which will create an 18’ long entry (where the 2 guys are). The other side of this wall (closest to camera) will be the kitchen.

Stay Tuned....
