Permits

He promised to split the permit so we could finish the garage before we finished the timberframing section. He said he'd change the drawings on a Thursday evening and do the permit the next day. He didn't get the drawings changed until several days later, and was still in process of changing the permits the next Tuesday. He has since told me that the permits have been split.
The first time he submitted the drawings for the permit he said they were done, and I worked out of him that he had submitted them, and they were being examined, and it would be a rubber stamp thing. It turned out they wanted improved and sealed drawings, and it was 6 weeks before the project could continue.
He always insists that nothing is his fault.
