We Got It! We Got Our Permit To Build!!!

And we can pick it up tomorrow! Too Cool! Now we just need to get all the numbers together for the financing! Too cool! I am really hoping we can start building by June 1st…
Rented an excavator and spent the day up at the property moving dirt back into that trench we dug for the water/power and doing some other things that you need an excavator to do. Kinda fun. Kinda Scary. Dug a new trench from the end of the last one down to the driveway. It’s for power and water. I’m tired! Hard to believe that operating an excavator all day can make you so tired and sore.

Now, that’s MY kinda woman!!!!! <:)>

What I’ve Been Up To The Past Couple Of Days…

Yesterday I drove over to Union, WA and spent a good hour talking to Rob at Dogwood Construction. He’d be glad to take on our dome project but I have to get him MUCH better plans and a lot more information. Really kind of a productive meeting. The drive over and back was beautiful! Right along the water front from Belfair to Union. Took some good pictures (check out our Webshots site). Got back home and called Bob the Dome Guy about my talk with Rob. We decided it would be best if I contacted Larry Byrnes at Monolithic.com to re-draw the plans. Meanwhile we’re hoping that Mason County still issues us a building permit…
Today talked to Larry Byrnes at Monolithic and he agreed to re-draw the dome plans. So I gathered the stuff together to send and got it mailed off. Straightened up around the house a bit. At least stuck my dirty clothes in the washer. Bishop Job dropped off a notice to post on the cyber-church website so I got that done. Watched Smallville (cool show!) and Supernatural and that’s about it.
And that’s it!

Proposed Class Action Suit Against “Telebrands”: $ 5,000,000,000.00

For unethical and unfair marketing practices. For not giving the public a way to leave them a message complaining about the crappiness of their products and (most importantly) for not giving us a way to ‘opt out’ of their damned spam-mail. Anyone Agree?
Things been going well. Passed the EcoEngineer report on where our dome is going to physically sit. Been working for Bob (The Dirt Guy) the past couple of days spreading gravel and breaking septic pipes. Dozer is up and running and I just have to change all the fluids in it to make it just right. Thinking of selling it but I’m not sure if I’m going to need it later or not. SWMBO and I went out to “Fat Rascal’s” for dinner last Friday evening. I had the fried catfish. Yummy! Went shopping yesterday instead of our usual after date stop. And that’s about it…

Cool! We Had Some Thunder Today!

Cool Cool! We don’t get much thunder and lightning around here. Every couple of years or so we have some thunder; not often. Something about being too close to the coast and the atmosphere not having enough time to pick up/generate enough static electricity or something like that. Bummer! I like storms.
