I don't know what to say.
Our plans are approved.
Our fines are paid.
I think we are ready to proceed.
I feel like I'm floating in anti-gravity...

The Door Arrives!
Antoine dropped off our door on Saturday. We ordered it on Sept 19th. It was supposed to take "a few weeks" for delivery. I had called repeatedly, every 10-20 days... finally lost it with Antoine last week. He delivered it himself...
Now we need to stain it...

Zoning Hurdle Over (?)
We got some kind of certification from zoning. This is a breakthrough, although I fear we are very far from the "finish line."
Jimmy's phone call with the lady from zoning nearly put him in cardiac arrest. Apparently we had awoken her with our phone call, or perhaps she is on a large dosage of blood pressure meds, and she stumbled and bumbled through a few other people's files before she found ours (regardless of the fact that he repeated the address numerous times).
At one point she told us that we had missed our hearing... that we'd have to wait until February to have another hearing... that we needed to post a zoning hearing sign on the front yard and send notices via certified mail to all neighbors within 250 feet of the construction zone....

Two months and counting
Today, fingers crossed, we will find out if Zoning will allow us to have this bandroom, the bandroom that has stood here for close to 60 years, so close to our house.
Somewhere along the line, someone came up with a 5 foot rule. That is, if a structure is on fire, and another structure is more than 5 feet from it (eve to eve), the second structure will not catch fire.
We wait.
