Having experience as a property manager in our lovely city, I found this story so, so funny! I've never actually had to get the permits myself because I just sent the contractors to do it, but I've heard just how disorganized they are down there. Glad you finally got your permit!

I can't wait to see what happens when we add our bathroom...that could get interesting I am sure.

At least you go them...that is your upside I guess. Even though it took Forever and was pain.

OMG! I was dying reading this! I can't believe you (mostly) kept your cool. I'd be swearing, or crying. Or both!

Plenty more of those to come. We have been in our house 8 months and had the most random things happen. But is so worth coming home to your own place.

And you still have faith that these people can somehow run your health care?
