The kids model the newly installed front door

The front door was put in yesterday. It will be nice to get all of them in soon.

I had an interesting day with the bank. When we started planning the house there was no requirement for a building permit in the county unless you were in city limits. We processed our loan on Nov 30th and as it turns out after September 1st you had to go to the planning commission and give them $100 to for a permit. Although they never come look at what you are building they found a way to raise some extra money. We went through the loan process telling the bank that no permit was needed. Everything was fine until this week when our loan funds quit being disbursed into the account. Although no one had called us we found out they need a copy of the permit within 30 days of your construction beginning. So I ran downtown to the planning commission to find out what I needed to do and had to go tonight to get measurements for the easements on front, back, and sides of the house. Tomorrow morning I go back downtown with the info, a sketch, the title, and $100 and we will be back in business.

I like the door. Post a photo of the front porch with what the door looks like from the outside. I bet the porch looks great too! Love you bunches, Becca
