and end in sight...

yikes!

good thing i took a quick look at the permit website (for the addition) because i figured permits would be good until you finish the project, as long as it was started within the year of being approved for one. taking a look at the website, its actually not the case. enter panic mode...  :-/

you actually have to start work within 90 days of getting the permit and then must be completed within a year (less than 2 months from now!). OMG!!! i'm pretty sure we still have at least 3 months worth of work to finish (and that's if we start getting a move on and work on it every weekend) and our permit is only good until the end of april...

you can apply for a 3 month extension, but its at the discretion of the inspection company. holy worries batman! so i called them up and asked about it, and got an extension to get us to july 30th. do you know what that means? that means we'll be done and using the addition by then! i'm not sure if that stresses me out knowing we have a date we need to have our last inspection by with all the work we have left, or relieves me knowing there is an absolute end to this. i realized this week that we kind of need to have this done in the next 4 months or i won't have a place for my dad to sleep when they come out for my sisters wedding...

ugh, nothing like putting an expiration date that might be a bit of a stretch on something that's been dragging on lately  :-(
