Spoke to our general contractor, Pete, today. Our work has been approved and  we got our permits from the city. The small addition we’re doing off the back of the house fits within the city’s setback requirements. That’s the good news. 

Bad news is when we pour our new foundation, the cement truck may crush our driveway. Pete says the cement truck weighs 80,000 lbs and the excavator thinks our driveway may get smashed to shit. So we have that going for us. 

  
Kinda feel like there should be an over/under on whether or not it gets smashed. Would love to get some action going on this. 

Meeting with Pete tomorrow morning to go over budget, design and timeline. Hope to have a design to share with you guys next week.
