ERP, Septic, and Building and Safety

We received word from Jim Irvin that the county had a few clarifications on the house plans and that he would be addressing them this week. So we may have an approval in 1 to 2 weeks! 

The ERP is complete and submitted to the Chris Young at the Environmental Programs Department. So we should have an approval in the next 1 to 2 weeks…are you starting to see a trend?

The Septic system is more involved. After getting a request for clarification and further documentation from Marc Hariksen at the county health department, we are trying to decide which manufacturer we want to use by bidding the cost of installation. The installers are charging from $18-21,000 dollars to install the system. The price of the system ($10-12,000) is not included in that figure! Are you kidding me? I should become an installer! The system is installed in less than a week! Needless to say we are seriously considering installing the system ourselves.

We have been reading Ana-White.com and are convinced we can not only build our own furniture, but we may try and build our own cabinets as well.
