Moderately exciting house news
Last week we finally came to an agreement with the neighbors with whom we share the private alley behind our house. The permit has been released, a surveyor has surveyed, and the curb will be cut sometime, hopefully, soon. (The City has even agreed to remove the immature tree on their side of the sidewalk.) Once we get around to paving the private alley we will have off-street parking and the ability to build a garage. Considering deeded parking goes for at least $20k around here -- and a garage would add at least $40k of value to our house -- them's some good returns.

Congratulations! Yippee Ki-yi-yay!
Our driveway permit came through, too, last Friday. And it only took, what 8 months longer than you? 14 months! The length of time for a deer to reach maturity, or alternately the gestation period of a large whale. On the brighter side, the gestation period of an elephant is 22 months, and I'm glad we didn't have to wait that long.
I bet your project will be done sooner than ours, too.
