Mr. Brown, Tear Down This Permit!

One of the many days we've been waiting for has arrived - we passed our Certificate of Occupancy inspection this afternoon! We met the county building code requirements and so now can legally move in. Yeah, right!

So even though we have our CO it's feeling somewhat anticlimactic because we still have quite a bit more work to do. Here's the short list:
  • Loft Flooring
  • Porch
  • Cabin Flooring
  • Shower
  • Bathroom Flooring
  • Cabinets
  • Sand Plaster Walls
This doesn't include side projects like garden prep/planting and installing the PV system, all of which are, thankfully, in progress. I dug the footer holes for the PV system this morning and got the building inspector to verify they're at the requisite depth. And Christy has been working on the garden pretty much everyday - even after work.

Anticlimacticism (a made-up word) aside, I'm feeling really good. This day validates that doing what Christy and I are doing is achievable for anyone. This is doable.
