right? WRONG!

Everytime we think we are moving in a forward direction, something pushes us back. After working so hard on the foundation formwork, we get hit with a "You were not supposed to do this until you had a permit! Here's a $250 fine!" We also got hit with a "Your house is too close to the nextdoor neighbor." Now we researched and researched that and the house should, according to what we found out, be in the right spot. But the inspector disagreed. Well, that's that! So now we wait to see if we really do have to move the formwork that we've done, and we wait to see if we have a permit to even touch the formwork.

My head is spinning with all the new information I receive each day.

At least we can still design. That's what a group of us have been doing...designing the siding that will go on the exterior of the house. We've come up with some really cool stuff, and now we just need to find the materials to make them work.

I'm surprized that I haven't gotten a stress anxiety attack yet. (Knock on wood.) I'm un-naturally calm in all the chaos. I guess I have to be. What's the point in stressing over things? It won't make them happen faster or necessarily how I want.


...I wonder if it snowed this morning...
