My pool builder called me yesterday and said I need to go sign off on some paperwork at the city. The lady at the City (Muni Complex) was very dry and matter of fact and told me she was behind and she had 6 permits to get through before she got to mine. She said it may take her a few days. I pulled out my number one weapon and quickly scanned her desk and walls to find her interests. I spent the next 20 minutes talking about her dogs and the fact that she won 'employee of the month'. I had her laughing and talking bad about "working for the man" and got her to really open up.
When I was leaving she said "oh, BTW, your permits will be finished within the next 3 hours and I will call your builder and tell him he can start as early as tomorrow".
My pool builder called this morning and said he has already been to my house today and sprayed the design of the pool, he will stake it out tomorrow and begin excavation Thursday at 10am.
Now I am really excited!
