We are off again...

Okay, a quick explanation of what has gone on the last month or so...

When last we left Gene and Linnea they were on their way to a zoning meeting, Little did they know the horrors that awaited them--wait, that's the other blog. When they arrived at the township building, they were met by an angry mob--nope, that's the other blog again. They were actually met by one of their neighbors who opposed the variance they asked for regarding their garage location. He has his house for sale and we think that he is opposed because he is asking about twice what the house is worth. Anyway, the variance was tabled because the garage was moved as a result of the stinking river (see earlier entry) and we didn't have the exact location on paper. Fast forward to last Thursday--we were prepared for a riot this time. The couple we are buying the land from were there, we had exact measurements and pictures in case the neighbor was still opposed. We didn't see him that night and the board was happy to grant our request. So on Friday we dropped the plans at the building department and pulled our permits. Should have the permits this week, if there are no issues with the plans. As Willy Nelson famously sang, "We're on the road again... making mudpies with my friends. I'm just glad to be on the road again."

Enter #302872 to see his house and help him sell it--for his blessing, not ours It's a beautiful house and is on 15 acres in a great area. We decided that we would not seek anything but the best for them as they sell their house, so spread the word.
