Both the architect and structural engineer dropped off the final stamped and signed drawings yesterday evening in preparation for R's trip to the building department today. He's hoping to get the final permit in hand by the end of the day (fingers crossed!). He's specially arranged to take most of the day off of work and planned on being at the door of the building department when they open at 8am.
When, at 8pm last night, R reviewed the drawings, he found an entire architectural sheet missing! We tried emailing and calling the architect's mobile phone to no avail. I remembered that R was friends with a friend of the architect (how we found him, in fact), so I suggested he call her. She answered and was able to provide the architect's home number. The wife sounded a little miffed that a client was calling the home line, but as soon as she heard he had omitted a sheet from our set, she promised a quick call back (he was reading their daughter a bedtime story).
The architect showed up at 7:15am this morning just in time to hand the sheet to R before he headed downtown. Phew!
