Plans

We received a "final" copy of the house plans about two weeks ago. We made $300 worth of copies and took them to the city. Then we found out that we had to flip the house over and change some of the notations. It's exhausting just thinking about it! So now we're waiting to get the final copies back from the engineer for the second time and praying that they don't take as long as the first set. It was nice of the city's engineer to let us know what needed to be adjusted before we just dumped the plans off for the final check. He probably saved us time in the long run, but it's still frustrating.

We received an email on friday about the grant we applied for letting us know that they were unable to make a final decision by the original deadline. We'll know by the end of next week if we will be awarded the grant money for the solar panels.

Some positive news is that we found and interior designer to help us with colors and style and keep us from turning our home into a college dorm room. Eventually we're going to live in a house like adults with regular closets and room enough in the kitchen for cups and the kitchenaid!
