Hallelujah!After over 6 months of wrangling, disappointments, frustration, and unexpected twists and turns, we received approval this morning by the St. Pete City Council for our remodel request for our home in Granada Estates. They overturned the denial we received from the CPC (which was actual a vote of 3 to 2 in our favor..but they needed 4 votes to approve...sigh.) The vote in our favor was 8 - 0. We were doing a happy dance outside City Hall afterwards. I cried...happy tears. Thanks to Wayne and Jimmy for showing up and speaking our behalf (as they have in our other two prior hearings). Thanks to our attorney Don Mastry who did a great job. And thanks to our architect John and his wife Susan for their REALLY devoted work on our behalf and being such supportive friends. AFter our big win, the three of us went to the Sports Authority and I bought a Tampa Bay Rays hat and t-shirt (celebrating THEIR victory in winning the American League East Championship). And then we went to La Cabana de mi Tio...for my favorite carnitas tacos and gorditos anywhere!!! A great day.
