The fun begins

How should I start..
Maybe by shouting out loud with a grin on my face hip, hip hurray! for the first time in weeks.

And the reason: we GOT our PERMIT!!!

This means many things. First of all that we are experts in California 2010 building code.
It also means we have made our calculations right for electricity and bathroom appliances.
And the day was June 28th.
A day to celebrate for many reasons, but mainly: my sons birthday.

In the heat of getting the permit, selecting a huge pile of material from Home Depot, we almost forgot to bring home a tort.
Luckily hubby was wise enough to fetch son and visit Champagne, the only cafeteria nearby which sells edible torts and bring home a triple chockolate.
We needed the energy for the following days, I'll show you how the house looks like now.
The best about the permit is that we are now able to start demolishing without thinking of how much the city would allow us to demolish without a permit.

Sooo, the fun begins!
