Alert: Progress in Progress

We met yesterday to review "Permit Drawings".

David, Scott, Tom and I met yesterday for a long, 6 hour session. It was rough but I'm happy with the outcome. The drawings are complete enough for two purposes: accurate pricing and building permit.

The estimate I currently have is a ballpark that enabled me to get a loan. I've got the loan. Now, the fun starts. David will use these drawings and price each area accurately. If we're still in the ballpark, we're good. If the new pricing doesn't fit in the budget, we get to lower quality or remove items to make the project fit in budget. In the current economy, I'm a little nervous.

Of course, nothing moves without building permits. These drawings will go to the city folks for approval and permit so we can begin construction. Current plans have us starting work in 3 weeks.

It was hard writing this with my fingers crossed.
