We have the promise of a DEQ permit, assuming the measures the builder has outlined to protect the site during building are acceptable. So we will move to the next permit set, the township & county's construction, soil erosion, health and demolition permits. We hope they will not take more than two weeks.
So I emailed the bank just to let them know we are likely to move forward soon (they still remember us!); and we have the preliminary drawings from Porter SIPs. It's kind of neat, it comes in a "package" with the screws and sealants and all -- kind of like when I built dollhouses for my nieces (except much better insulated).
Another change is that the builder is proposing a concrete floor --
Lite deck. This is an insulated form onto which concrete is poured to make the floor. It has a high thermal mass and the concrete can be stained various colours. It's great for laying the radiant heat floors too.
I think we have settled on the U-shaped kitchen but are moving the bathroom wall a bit to be sure that a wheelchair can turn around in the bathroom.
Things are likely to accelerate over the coming few weeks.
