Application in!

At the same time when we were clearing the road in a hurry we were trying to get the building permission application ready. The drawings by the engineer were ready on the 10th of May. I went to print them at the library with the kids and Mick continued clearing the road. After loads of printing, filling in forms and getting signatures from neighbors that they OK our plans we were finally ready to apply. The application was left to the office on the 11th of May at 9.30 am. That felt really good and it was a relief to have it in.

Right now lots of applications are left before the summer so it will most likely take five weeks to get the permission. During that time we might be asked to do changes but hopefully nothing big. We have showed the designs and had correspondence with the planner already before applying so there should not be any big surprises.
This is what we applied for:

Julkisivu itään, South elevation 1:100

The surface of the house wont look like this because the roof will be of aspen shingles, haapapaanu and the walls will be clay and lime so a very smooth surface

Leikkaus, Section 1:100 

The posts and beams will be visible inside the house. 

The chimney will be in the middle and a wood burning stove will heat the whole house.

The windows on the roof will bring in extra light.
