Bygglov

7 månader tog det från början av processen tills vi fick bygglovet godkännt.

7 MÅNADER...

Beslutet togs igår den 19 november, 2008.

Vi hoppas att huset ska hinna byggas innan bygglovet upphör.

KOVÄNDNING

I Torsdags ringde vår representant från kommunen igen.
Han hade nu haft ett möte med några kollegor och de hade kommit fram till att vårt fall var
extraordinärt och därför beslutat att bevilja vårt bygglov trots allt.

Varför vår kommunkille inte väntade med att prata med oss innan mötet han haft i Onsdags det kan vi bara spekulera om. Makt, dramatik...

COW TURNING!
(swedish expression)

New day, new decisions..
Our guy at the county office had a meeting with some colleges and came to the conclusion that our case had some special circumstances. So they decided to approve our application after all.

Avslag

Huset är beställt.
Vägen är planerad.
Väskorna är packade.
Lägenheten är städad.
Imorgon går flyget och vi är vid tomten för klargörande av några sista detaljer.
Telefonen ringer, det är tjänstemannen på kommunen.

Beslutet var färdigt.
AVSLAG!!!

Vad gör vi nu? Jo vi åker iväg på vår 6 veckor långa semester och väntar på bättre tider.
Det behöver inte vara så hopplöst som det låter, men det kan vara det...

...to be continued.

Our permit-to-be-build got DENIED from our county office.
So we have a house but no where to put it for the moment!

Yes! IT IS FOR REAL! We are now two huge steps closer to getting our house done. Last Tuesday the 17th , we made the final order for the house. Also, our permit-to-build application has arrived at the county administration office .

But the decision process is far from over. In order to give us extra time to plan the interior we 've decided to buy a lot of stuff ourself instead of getting it from Myresjöhus. This will also give us a bigger selection to choose from.

This week:
Decide exact where to place the water related items in the bathroom.

Soon:
* Decide for the exact position off the house.
* Detailed planning off our own road, placement and lightning.
* Make arrangements with Telia for the phone wires.

When the permit-to-build has been approved:
* Pay for our piece of land.
* Start planning for our little garden house.

Later:
* For the Kitchen we need to buy dishwasher, refrigerator, freezer, oven, stove top and the kitchen faucet.
* For the master bath and the dressing room we need to buy the whole interior, including the tile.
* The other bathroom will also need to get the whole interior, including the tile.
* The laundry/ second entrance room will also need a washing machine and tumble drier. In that room we also have to plan for some storage and hanging of wet clothes.

* Make a plan over the electric wireing , or actually customize the plan for us, including outlets, indoor and outdoor lighting and media wires. We plan to get some professional help with the lighting in the house.
* Interior design in all the rooms; wallpaper, painting etc.
* Order the tile for the first entrance and the laundry room/second entrance.

We will probably mostly have white painted walls,
maybe some wallpapers. Below is some
sample of the latest kids collection of Sandbergs
that we received in the mail today.

Note to us selfs,
* Prata med rörläggaren INNAN inköp av blandare för dusch i Master Bath
* Glöm inte att instruera snickaren att runda av hörnen på fönsterbrädorna, samt att diskutera höjden på väggen i Master bedroom.

On Friday evening we brought our friends J & K to our lot for a little BBQ. We watched the sun go down to make sure our porch will have sun in the evenings, before the placement of the house is final.

Another positive discovery this evening was that we have very nice neighbors, we meet two families. It turns out that our next door neighbors have kids almost the exact ages as ours. It couldn't be more perfect, hopefully they will get along well too.


We got the paperworks for the permit-to-build on Thursday last week, and there is only minor changes to be done before we can send the papers in. Hopefully this will be arranged this week.

The exterior and the placement of the house on the lot is the important parts in the application for a permit-to-build.




We have decided to go for the horizontal wood panel on the house, only a little part on the front side will have plaster. We would have loved to have white plaster all around, but unfortunately it is to expensive. On the picture above we are going to change the placement of the round window so that will be placed in the middle of the bedroom wall (on the inside that is). The door out from bedroom #4 will get a different door with glass all the way down.
