Well, we saved a little because our installer said he’d deduct some if WE went down to city hall and got the permit, which we did, which was kind of interesting, and they were very nice to us.
Nobody ever mentioned however that there is a part B of the process, which is calling the city inspector out to look at the job.
So yesterday we got a notice our permit is going to expire and be canceled real soon if we don’t get part B done.
We called right away, got a very nice inspector who’s kind of thinking about doing his own backyard pond. 😉
And we are now completely legal. 😉
Silly us. I knew about inspections, but I’d figured since we had a permit and said we were building that an inspector would sort of drive by in a month, say, yep, that’s a fence, and that would be that.
Nope, not automatic. Silly me.
Yeah, I’m glad that my electrical contractor called the inspector for me. That way, he got there faster, since he knew time was money for the contractor (never mind it was MY money). He was there about an hour after they called him, but he found a problem and had to come back the next day. When I got home the next day, the release was signed and on the back door next to the spa.
Sometimes, City Hall can do the right thing….
Glad you are legal with the fence now.
Good old municipal bureaucracy!
