Entry: cautiously optimistic Thursday, July 02, 2009



I got some good news today, and thus, it appears that we can inch forward in our home remodel project.

The next big hurdle is securing building permits, because our damn Village is so friggin persnickety. I really hate dealing with them.

Once THAT hurdle is cleared, I have to order a PODS or similar storage container and empty out the contents of my daughter*s room, and a small portion of the attic.

I am supposed to be spending time in Wisconsin, but, really I should be here in case anything comes up. I am really disappointed that this process is dragging; we were hoping to have already broken ground by now.

I am also flummoxed as to how I am going to manage the pets if the major tear-out portions occur while we have to be here in IL (due to school.) I certainly hope that will not be the case.

I guess I will just have to take each day as it comes.

"The Summer I Spent in the POD" - I see an interesting short story assignment from you daughter!

Yeah, your last sentence about says it all.

Will your daughter be living in the POD with her stuff during the remodel? Did you get her a model with indoor plumbing and AC or will she be chilling up at the camp house for the duration?
