The Building Permit

Our architect met us at the county permit office in January of 2016 with all the necessary forms filled out to help us with the permitting process. Unfortunately the office is closed on Fridays. Patsy was due to fly back to the boat the next day so the permit got delayed. Then in March we took the boat to the South Pacific so further delays and delays on our part. Finally in January of 2017 we went to apply and they had changed their building code which required updates on many of the pages of the plans. The architect, structural engineer and the metal building company all had to be involved with updates. Finally March 29, 2017 Tim applied for the permit. Fingers are crossed that we get approved! Cost $2,135.
YAY! April 23, 2017 the building permit department called and we are approved. Now just need to pay more $$ and pick it up.

September 2017 - Bummer - The foundation needs to be totally redesigned. Hired Littlehorn Engineering. Time slipped away and then Covid hit.

January 2022. We are back at it and attempted to apply for the building permit but the permitted septic design is out of date. The Soil Evaluation and Septic was redesigned and permits applied for Feb 28, 2022.

The Well Permit

In January 2017 Allen Drilling & Excavating got us all set up with permit applications. First we sent $5 off to Greeley Water District for their approval and then the permit application plus $100 to the State of Colorado Division of Water Resources. It's taken 2 months and we finally received the permit April 5, 2017. Estimate for well... don't know.

Now it's 2022 and it appears it will be 7 months before they can get to our well.

The Electric

It took some calling around but we figured out that our electric company is IREA. We sent off $100 to them for the design fee and after a phone call to the engineer it is all done. Deposit for the electric... $8,159. Yikes! But they did give us a rebate of about $3,500. Electricity is at the property!
