Almost Permitted

Thanks to the efforts of many people, we have every reason to believe a permit is forthcoming in a matter of days. Presumptious of us to post, we know, but we are very happy with the open and valid dialogue with the city and pleased as punch with our progress. Up 'til now it's been, "Plans and papers and permits - oh my!" Now we take a deep breath and sigh.

And off to the next phase. Chef is very talented at construction and is currently dedicated to green research. He will be on the job as sweat equity and as Green Miser; reducer and repurposer extradonaire. So, he is boning up on the latest green innovations. We will both be attending the "Let There Be Light: LED Lighting and Sustainable Lighting for Interiors" seminar put on by the Corporate & Community Training Institute at Indian River State College (http://www.cctiirsc.com/). I have enjoyed this wonderful local resource, as well as the Florida Small Business Development Center at Indian River State College (http://www.floridasbdc.org/). Both organisations are invaluable tools for the local business community. I am grateful to both and using this time before opening to attend every seminar that I can.
