Have Permit, Will Build

Whoo! We're the proud owners of a building permit which gets us one step closer to building our deck.

All in all, the process was fairly painless, even though it took me three trips to county offices. But, I found if I show up at 8am when they open, they have essentially no lines.

OK, we've got the zoning and the permit, now all we need to do is the minor detail of actual construction.
