The title to this post is a little misleading (and possibly a teeny bit overdramatic). My sanity hasn’t really started eroding – at least not yet. Check back in six months and I might tell you another story. But I’m not one to miss a chance at clever (and possibly a teeny bit overdramatic) wordplay.

Here’s where things stand: We must provide more environmental impact studies before the city will issue building permits. Specifically, they’ve requested erosion control drawings from the architect. He says this is a typical request for commercial projects that are larger than one acre. We are not a commercial property on a large expanse of land, but apparently we are special. Hooray.

Now I’m looking more closely at our neighboring lots. I’m hopeful the house across the street had to go through this erosion control exercise too.
