Permits...DC-Style

Construction Permits are a hard thing to get in DC. Now the DCRA [D.C. Regulatory Authority] may say it's "quick & easy"  neither are the case.  you have to apply for them EARLY.  its is not a QUICK process.  and keeping your cool while you wait is not EASY.  especially since the contractors could be pissing away your money on the jobsite.  instead, you have an empty shell of a building that keeps getting late night visitors who mistake the place for a party house/restroom [more on that later]

but, finally, as of yesterday, we had all of our permits on display [we had them officially approved 2 weeks ago]

Master Building Permit.

and here is the picture of the window with all of our "paper" in it.  DCRA cant touch us now!
