Great!!! This is a small setback, but hopefully we can overcome this and get the addition built and the room ready for the newborn.

Thankyou to you all for the Congrats and words of wisdom

Well, today I went to the city to see about permits to enclose my carport for the additional space......
My house & addition has to be at 15ft above sea level.......... right now its maybe 5ft.... Itd cost me $350 to have an engineer with a fancyass GPS tell me its 5ft, put it on paper, and sign it. Then hand that $350 piece of paper to the city zoning commission for them to tell me it has to be raised up about 10ft to meet new flood plain elevation requirements. To raise my house up 10ft and add the addition would cost me more than I am paying for the house after 30years + interest!

WOW what a way to spend my day off........... I need a cigar......
I think i'm going to work on my pipe rack idea in my carport.... and have a few drinks.
