So I have the report from the geotechnical engineer and everything seems fine. I've forwarded the report to the structural engineer and architect. I'm waiting for the septic guy to get the septic permit and also waiting on the grading plan.
I've been having a hell of a time finding anyone to design my heating system. One, local company said they could do it no problem but have not responded to emails and I can't get a hold of them on the phone. If this is the way they treat a potential customer I would hate to see how they treat me after I've given them some money! I've got a few calls out but nothing so far. Can't get a building permit without a heating plan so this could hold me up some.
I have the drawings sent out to a couple roof and floor truss suppliers for quotes. I need to have an engineering report from the joist supplier to apply for a building permit as well.
On a more fun note, I'm flying down to Toronto on Friday morning so I can go to a lighting store with my architect. This store carries a lot of LED http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LED lighting fixtures which I'm planning to use. LED's use less energy than floucescents and don't contain toxic mercury like flourescents. They cost a lot more but last for 15+ years so they are cost effective over the long run. I refuse to put any flourescent lights in my house. We might also go check out a tile store to select the tiles for my bathroom and shower stall.
I'll be coming home on Sunday so I can have a good visit with my sister and niece as well as an old buddy from HS who lives a few block from my sis.
That's all for now!
