Permits and Tigers and Bears! Oh, my!

With offers of help coming in things have been very hectic trying to talk to so many folks. I am late on getting some blogs up but I hope you folks will be understanding. A lot of folks have mentioned permits and to answer, Yes, we have visited the nice folks at 300 Richards Boulevard and sat and talked with them at length. Actually, I guess we came at a pretty good time (it was a Tuesday morning) because we were able to talk at length and in great detail. Many drawings were made and a lot of guidance given. We have stacks of paperwork all filled out so that by the time we enter our building phase (yes, folks we are still working to clean stuff out, gak!) we will have everything we need.

I will have to say that although the folks at the city office were very nice and helpful the costs of permits in the city of Sacramento and what is required as compared to other cities is bordering on the outrageous. I know the city government is hurting for funds so I guess it is just another sign of the times. We just do what we need to do to get it done right.

Speaking of getting it done right... We are in MAJOR need of an eletrical contractor and we understand that this may eat up a big portion of what funds we have scraped together but if someone knows someone who may be interested in guiding us (or perhaps be willing to give us an off-season discount or maybe they need some graphics or website work done in exchange?). PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE send them our way!

Okay, back to work on this cold rainy Sunday...
