Yes, it is true, we do not even own the house yet and we have already incountered delays.
Delay 1: The existing home owner can't move into his new house yet so he will renting the back from us for two weeks. TWO WEEK DELAY.
Delay 2: The building permits have been DISAPPROVED. Dramitic Pause ... causing indefinte delay to the building process.
The silver lining: Since we are delayed two weeks anyway, we have two weeks to work through the permitting issues. Hopefully it will work out so keep your fingers crossed.
The issue with the permit seems fairly minor to me but we will keep you posted on the progress. When your house is currently too close to the property line (which ours is) Durham will only let you add 15% additional sqare footage (we are trying to add about 30%). So we will have to apply to get a variance. It seems that this should be fairly straightforward but you never know when you are dealing if city ordinances.
So we will have to wait to use our new demo items, which we purchased at The Home Depot.
