We have worked out our development permit with our county and have started the process for getting all the building permits needed to build a house. I called the permit people and they told me to fill out an application and at the top is this picture. Now isn’t this picture of a man bending over appropriate when dealing with government bureaucracy. There seems to be a permit for everything. It rained all week and we finally had the sun come out today. I checked our garden and we actually have some stuff coming up. I’m kind of surprised as I thought it’d be a miracle if anything grew in the clay based grass patch we planted everything in. Holiday tomorrow for me since I work for an American company. We are going to secure a chicken coop if all goes well. Wish us luck.
