Permits & Halloween

Hip hip hooray for our beautiful building permit! As is the case with many home construction things......the permit application process took longer than anticipated. We were told to assume 4-8 weeks for our application to be approved. Well, 11 weeks later; we are the happy holders of the most precious piece of green cardstock I've ever laid eyes on!
Check out that flash of green in the front window!! YESSSSSSSS!!
We got our permit just in time for Halloween, which made me quite happy. We had been informed by our neighbors that Halloween is "kind of a big deal" on our block and in our small neighborhood. I bought 2 giant bags of candy at Costco & made plans to drink wine & pass it out to our soon to be neighbor kiddos. Chris reminded me that it would be pretty irresponsible to pass out candy at our part way demolished house without permits in the window......he's very smart. It would've been dumb! The permit came through Friday the 30th, so just in the nick of time!
Chris is as excited as I am!

We came prepared for the
neighborhood trick or treaters...
but once the sun set & the temp dropped, we left....
it got too cold! 

Bit by glorious bit, we inch ever closer to our forever home!
