Getting Lucky


The permit office rejected my drawings for the driveway addition we are planning. They recommended I hire a surveyor to prepare the proper documentation. It was going to cost me around $500 to get this done. I was bummed.

I had a copy of a survey done for a previous owner. The permit office said that survey was skewed. Momoko recommended that I contact the original surveyor to get a copy of the orignal. They were on the Internet. So I called them up. For a nice $25 they would send me some copies. Yes.

I just got the docs today. Now I see what went wrong. I had a copy on a normal 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper. The originals were on long 8.5 x 14 paper. Now I am ready to go back and get my permit approved.
