The option has been out there for several years, "come live with us in San Carlos. we will build you a place in the back". Once we told her she could design it the deal was done.
Back in the November timeframe she made the decision. Pulled the trigger. Since that time we engaged an architect, structural engineer, civil engineer, and surveyor. We had a soils report done and we are the proud owners of a video showing our entire sewer line.
On Friday we got word that permits were ours and we could start work.
Casey is out from Colorado as the brains behind the build. He has spent several hours with Oma and Annette discussing all the details including doors, windows, stained glass, floors, etc. He has also spent some quality time with Annette going over the planned "construction destruction" which will happen in her garden. I am sure Annette will dry her tears and move back in soon ;-)
Here is a little video of our progress to date. Oma reads this blog all the time so feel free to leave comments for her.
And just to show we are having a good time, here is our lunch break on what Tyler thinks is a "made for him" skate board ramp.
Yay! so exciting to follow the progress on the blog...love it!!!
