We are finally seeing some progress! We were "In the County" (as it is commonly called in our area) from February 21st to May 9th! Almost a record... I did here of another home owner that was "in the county" for 3 months because they were contesting things. We didn't contest, we just did as we were told and we still weren't off much better. It took us so long because we had the wrong setback, had a restricted lot, which required extra analysis and engineering, and an architect and engineer that had never designed a home for our county, so things didn't go as smoothly as it would've with a veteran home designer for this area. Oh well, live and learn... but hopefully never repeat. The good news is that our builder has built in this county a lot and since receiving the permit on Wed, we already have our footings in. Amazing!
Footings!
Not sure what the blue pipe is sticking up, my guess is the footing drain.
In the background is the kid's elementary school, just a stone's throw away.

On our way home a deer posed for us by the lake. How fun is that?!
