Well, I didn't have to entirely re-apply -- I just dropped off an amended site plan with the city. Thankfully one of the guys I had the meeting with was there to take the papers. He said someone in their office had been being 'finicky' (50 bucks it's the guy I had issues with) and wanted to see things like water/sewer lines on the plan, which I didn't include, but that he'd talk to him about it, since I'm not changing the footprint so they're entirely irrelevant. He also made it sound like it'd get expedited, since 'it's been such a pain for you, anyway.'
At this stage it really doesn't make any difference to me whether I get the permit today or in two weeks; the first thing I need to do is replumb the gas line, and I don't know how to do that, so it needs to wait for dad to get back from his road trip. And the weekend after he gets back is Folklife, so nothing can actually start until June -- which is fine, because the garage still isn't clean enough to work in, and I'm still on the hook to help my neighbor with the fence.
Speaking of the fence: Last weekend we got all the post holes dug and the posts set in concrete for our 60' of shared fence line. Now we need to coordinate setting the rails (very much a two person job) and then we can work on boards whenever we have time. The work went really well, and M was easy to work with. We needed to take few arms off a nut tree that grew right on the fence line, but she has an arborist friend who did it yesterday morning for $40, which is a great deal (and the tree looks happier, too -- he threw in some much-needed pruning of crossing branches).
Fence work will probably account for my upcoming weekend.
