The fun has really begun, so the time to post has shrunk. We signed papers on Tuesday- after a bit of last minute where-did-that-electronic-money-transfer-go panic. But it all worked out and the former owner went back to trying to empty the house. He's left us a lot of great things.
Wednesday we received permission from the Historical District Landmarks Commission to do all the work, and almost finished getting a building permit. For all that's NOT working right after Katrina, the city government has really done well to expedite that whole process. As we walked around City Hall chatting with people, getting papers, filling out forms, joking with folks and talking about the GREAT Saints' game Monday night, Mike kept comparing it to the government offices in Cairo. He spent many hours over many years in those crowded, smoky, inefficient offices - this place is GREAT!!
More photos later.
