The last installment of the building process revolved around the permitting process.  After spending all afternoon Monday in Canton at the Cherokee County Building Department I finally have all three permits done.  Praise the Lord and pass the potato salad!

 

To the right, I introduce you to Mr. Erosion Control Permit.  That allows me to knock over trees and move dirt.  Really cool stuff, being done by a fella named Brandon who drives a big “loader”.

 

 

 

To the right, I introduce you to Mr. Building Permit.  This allows me to build a house.  Also really cool stuff that really couldn’t be pulled off without a monumental amount of assistance from my friend Pat Dirrim.

 

Now on to some photos…

The tree in the middle (it’s not in the foreground) is a nice, big oak tree - that we hope to keep in the front yard.  It’s kind of hard to see.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here’s a view looking up the hill at Tim and Laury’s home.  You can see the brush and stumps piled up on the left side of the gravel drive.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Finally…. all of this is brought to you by Brandon Waters Grading.  That’s his “loader”.  Cool huh?

 

I’ll snap some more pictures for you tomorrow.

 

Don’t be strangers.
