Adam met the the Plans Reviewer for Duval County for a couple of hours yesterday. We had to make the changes he noted last week and get a new set together to submit - and we GOT OUR PERMIT! I'm a little excited, in case you can't tell. There are still a couple of things we need to change, but it wasn't big enough to reject us. He was also able to submit our Notice of Commencement - which we officially need to do to begin construction. He also got the Plumbing permit. They didn't even need to see the drawings for that - so, that process was a lot easier. Now we don't have the county holding us back - ONWARD!
Adam and his dad spent most of Saturday working on the footings. They still need to be cleaned up a little and compacted, but they're coming along. We also spent a good amount of time searching for the sewer conection. There is an "s" marked in the curb, and we dug all around that "s" to try and find the connection - but, it wasn't there. So, Adam's been in touch with everyone you can think of to try and get that information. We used the excavator to help dig some, but we turned it back in on Monday. Now, we just have shovels and a wheelbarrow.
After we finish the footings, we'll do the form boards and underground plumbing. However, Adam and I will be out of town this weekend and then we leave on a 4-night cruise on Sunday . . . so, it'll be a week before we do any more work on the house. We're going to enjoy our break and relax on the beach. Then, we'll get back to it next Thursday. That's all for now. Sorry I don't have pictures - I left the camera at home. I hope you had a nice Easter.
