Final - Final Approval

We received the final approval from the Rutherford County Inspection Department on Friday, May 11.  This means we have a Certificate of Occupancy and Duke  Energy will 'Set the Meter' by Wednesday, May 16.  After that we will have full, permanent power (and water).  

This final approval was 1 year and 33 days after Roger started the drive, and 10 months and 24 days after Jonathan started to dig the foundation footers. 

Ruthie and I will have the closing on Wednesday, May 16, at 3.30.  We haven't decided when we will actually spend our first night, but we have already accumulated some great furniture at antique shows and sales.

Approval Received from the Town of Lake Lure

Today we received final approval from the Town of Lake Lure - this included both the zoning and environment assessments.  We still need the county final inspections - which are more classical, like sinks, toilets, electrical, etc - and that is scheduled for Firday.  But the county will not even come to the site until the Town has approved.  Both Roger and Jonathan had a full-court-press the last few weeks to make sure the house, and the property (grading, seeding, straw, etc) were ready for today.

And, an unexpected bonus, Duke Energy was on site today to bury the permanent electrical power cables - and we didn't cut the water line, the gas line, or Roger's drain pipe.
