Getting the Building Permit • The code officials began as skeptics (“You want to do WHAT to the house?!”) but we were able to turn them into supporters. Excerpt from my journal entry, July 24, 2008: “This is your house, right?” Bill asked. I knew he didn’t want me experimenting on someone else’s home. “I like the approach,” Bill said, with a skeptical thought bubble almost visible over his head saying, “But I want you to show/convince me that it’s going to work.” By the end of our chat, we all shook hands & Bill wished me luck & asked me to keep him posted on how the project is going. 23
