AUUUGGGH!


It has been two weeks since Art & Ann have been home from vacation, and the deed is still in the same place: sitting in the county recorder's office. As soon as the parcel is recorded, the deed can be written up, then we can take it to the bank, get our loan and start building. The county recorder's office seemed to be a well organized place when Andy and I went there to get our marriage license 3 years ago... I think what has happened with our project is that it has been red-flagged and each county employee knows that it has to sit on their desk for a few weeks before they process it. (There aren't enough curse words available to express how frustrated I am right now.) Every day that passes by is another day that we don't have available to build this year. At some point, our contractor will say that there aren't enough days left in the non-rainy season to get the house to a weather tight stage, and we're screwed again, having to wait until next April to start construction.
