stop work order

Home Depot was here working in the garage. The AC inspector came. The flooring guys came (they did not get my message about not coming til Tuesday). Septic guy is outside working right now (needs to make the drain field a little bit bigger).

The inspector (from the county) said that I do not have a permit for my garage conversion and put in a stop work order. So now I have to deal with getting a permit for the garage (which the previous owner obviously neglected) and then I will have to pay the fines that the previous owner racked up because he did not pull a permit. Not sure how long it will take but Reynold jumped right on it and sent a bunch of emails. Home Depot called and said to call the title company and they should handle it. I hope so. So, the garage will not be finished for a while longer as well as pushing back the flooring also.

I am hoping to get some painting/sanding/carpet-business done today. Alan may come over later to being the painting project in his room.

Update: I'm having some people over to paint tomorrow. I finished everything in Alan's room (sanding, cleaning the walls, and making sure all the holes were filled, swept the floor) except for inside the window frame there are some holes. I cleaned the 2nd bath shower, pulled some weeds outside (like a drop in the bucket really), sanded some of the second room, cleaned the baseboards in my bedroom, cut up the carpet in Emily's room so I can properly dispose of it. Sunday Emily and her dad will be over to paint her room.
