Week 1: Permits and Trees


Things are picking up this week! (Yay!)

We got our building permits on Monday! It happened in RECORD time (by City of Richmond standards). If you know me you know I was all over Rick the Builder to get started digging up dirt. But stupid rain has us delayed and will likely be able to dig footings next week.


In the meantime, we were able to take down two trees this week. I'm kinda sad because I really like the big tree in the front. But the roots are gnarled and tangled into the sidewalk and would pose an issue with the foundation. :(


Here's a pic of the lot with the tree down. Like a relaxer...still need to touch up the roots. :)

I was horrified by the cutting of the tree & was gonna cuss you out until I read that you too wanted to save it.

I know, I know. It was dead, rotten and rooting into the foundation area. :(
