Murphey's Law-- (I highly dislike his truthful enlightenment!!)

Just getting back from Austin, Tx fresh ideas circulate in my mind. It’s good to get out, get away and get inspiration—especially since it is out of Ruston. Everything was going well while we were out of town on our 402 trip. Form work for half of our foundation was in place, things seemed to be rolling, until…….. Monday, Martin Luther King Day, we received our permit for our slab( yet we had already started building our formwork 3 days before that—we didn’t know that we couldn’t do temporary construction before receiving a permit---wupps) so a fine was presented before us. Not to mention our building restriction line might not be sufficient enough. We felt like we just got hit with a 2 x 4 or ran over by and auger or sliced with a chainsaw. ( choose your destiny) So,what do we do now? The building inspector was out for the rest of the week. WORK WAS AT A HALT!!!!! Most of us thought, BREAK for us. But as you can tell from my previous writings, that was not the case. We still have to design this house, figure out what this house looks like, the materials involved.…….. so many things. Man, Murphey was right!!!! Dangit!!!
