Well, nearly 1 full year after we went under contract on the teardown property, we are finally submitting for permit to acutally do the work. In fact, the process of preparing for permit may end up being the most time consuming and annoying. I think I handed the Naperville folks about a 6 inch stack of papers, blueprints, etc...
Word is we will hear back with a 1st review within 17 to 21 days. Then, if all goes well (as in the architect did his part right, and I did mine). Permit should be released within 21 days after that. So are modified goal of moving dirt in early October looks possible once again.
We have locked in the bids for the demolition and excavating portion of the house already - as Naperville requires the demo firm to provide a $1,000,000 insurance policy (which apparently is very cheap to obtain - it just sounds big).
But we can now exhale for a bit and focus on securing all the other trades and locking in those bids.
