We’re all set to start building the basement. We’re going to take official measurements tomorrow. We also just found out that we have to get a building permit from the city. We need to submit a detailed drawing and specification for what we’re doing. I hope this is for our own safety and not just bureaucratic silliness. Now we actually have to make official drawings. I would not design software without doing this so, though I was shocked at this at first, I think it will be a good experience.

If you’ll notice, I’ve updated the tree picture in yesterday’s post. I like the tree this year. I haven’t been happy with my tree designs for a while now. This one, though not perfect, has some promise.
