We are good to go.

Apparently, we are now good to go (hence the fireworks!!!). That's what the Ministry of Labor inspector has decided yesterday after a few hours of intense suspense. Well, I just have to say fucking finally!!!! seriously, better late than never. Quite frankly, I wasn't that hopeful yesterday morning, things were not really going our way. For a few hours, I thought that maybe the neighbor-from-hell had put a spell on the inspector. Maybe not... he is not THAT powerful. So the work can start again today with hand demolition first, then with the big ass excavator which will make its way back to our front lawn on the week-end. Well, that's all swell and groovy, except that all this extra work is costing an arm and a leg. 

As listed by our super-nice builder below, here is the breakdown:

"The extra cost is as follows (pour yourself a stiff drink first and be prepared to use a string of profanities followed by the name #3).

 

1.       Engineered drawings/procedure $2,500

2.       Bigger Excavator with Grapple $1,500

3.       Delivery and pick up of bigger Excavator $1,750

4.       Demo chimney’s by hand $1,500."

Wow, not only do I need a stiff drink, but I also need also a few valiums or just a diaper handy. Total amount of the work is $7250... *_* ...

THANK YOU VERY MUCH fuckface neighbor-from-hell for costing us all this extra cash. That's great!

Suck it up and move on. It is part of the contingency fee. Let's take a deep breath. It is out of our control. Must keep our eyes on the horizon, must keep our eyes on the horizon, must keep our eyes on the horizon. *_*!!!!!

Now I will drive to the house and see what's going there. Must keep my eyes on the horizon.
