It took only two weeks from when we received our zoning variances for us to get our building permits. This was another clear work of God. Here is the story in a nut shell.
After the symphony ifluenced miracle we experienced in receiving the zoning variances, we were excited to complete the final application for the building permits. However, as we called the City of Atlanta building permit office to check on what forms would be required, we found out that things had changed. They no longer offer a simplified process for homeowners to apply for permits. We were counting on that. So, we gathered our plans and our variances and went to city hall to see what would happen.
Somehow, Trent was able to find favor with the building permit office. We received in two days what should have taken two more weeks and left with our building permit. Christmas was at hand so our builder needed a couple weeks to get ready. Plus, we had just started to receive responses to our support letter for the project. The plan was to see how much money would be raised by the end of the year and be ready to start the project on January 5th.

Rock and Roll, Dude! Do I hear "The Vet" playing in the background? under the haze of the cathoray I step out of the cargo bay..."
Matt, Thanks for following our story and thanks for the Vigilantes of Love quote. I actually played that song for college students in Zagreb, Croatia back in 1994.
Trent and Emily - Once your addition is finished, it'll be hard to visualize how you lived your lives "before" with your 3 girls! I remember before we added on to our bungalow, Hannah, Nathan and Andrew were in one room (bed, crib, portacrib), and it was good later on to "spread out"! What a great way to expand the ministry to both students and family!
