Demo permit delay

Turns out we still need the State Demo permit and that takes 10 days so there was no chance on demolishing the old house by June 1st anyway. Fire department can now have extra training time.

Donate house to fire department

Spoke to fire department. Let. Maxwell. They can't burn house down, but can use it for training and help out the fire department. Should be a nice tax deduction. Called Doug and let him know we would need to delay demo until Monday June 5th.

5/25/2006- Met with Doug Elting of Colt Construction again and decided to hire him. I and very happy about this decision so far. He's already ready to knock the house down. It would have taken me a month of constant worry and planning to get to this stage if I was the GC. Little things like how to shut off the water (I thought I needed to drain the 3,000 gallon cistern; Doug said no problem, the plumber will just freeze the line.) As organized as I have been there is no substitute for someone that knows his crew and knows what to expect.
