Permits -- "Let Me Count The Ways" -- to Pay for Building a Home!

After getting the building permit yesterday afternoon, I had to go get a plumbing permit and file for the well permit (which will be granted once they confirm where I am going to be putting it), I will have spent the better part of $2000 in the last two days for these three permits, and I alreaday have zoning and septic system permits from earlier in the spring!



We are truly ready to legally begin the work!



And, I have an appointment with the Electric Cooperative to set the location for temporary service, and we will then be ready to have power set up...



So, here are a couple of pictures of the land after some more mowing and after posting the permits ...



Hopefully, pictures next week will show a real driveway and maybe some site leveling and possibly even the foundation dug out...



If you can see the sign in the center -- this is the permits...
This is just to show how much of the mowing out front is done -- not much, but it is coming along...
Standing half way up the driveway, this is the house site, etc.  More mowed than last week, but still a LOT to mow!


Tonight, I bought a piece of 2'x4' plywood and some folding table legs, a couple of U-bolts, and got the house plans laminated...  Then, I came home and put together a simple table to fold up and bring with me to the site to have waterproof plans on site each day...  Of course, I have plans for the individual sub-contractors, but having the approved plans on site attached to a table will be nice...  Here are a few pictures of it...
