And that is that.

There has been no progress on our garage/shop. We have been waiting for the county to approve the building permits. It's a slow process that takes a long time as this is the busiest time of year for them. Rumor has it it's been approved, but we won't know for sure until later this week, probably after the July 4th holiday. I can't believe it's been well over 2 months since we signed the building contract and forked over large sums of money and no building is happening. Keeping my fingers crossed that this week it will start.

Live long and prosper. \\//
