I've sent you the application for this, and according to what I’ve been told it's important to complete it to move forward with the necessary approvals. Following the COA, I’ve been advised you should be able to proceed with obtaining the building permit for the repairs to your building. Regrettably, I find myself in a situation where I must step back from further involvement in the permit process. After our discussions, I've realized that I really do have more on my plate than I can feasibly manage at this time. I’ll spare you the list! �� My initial thoughts were that the sub-contractor would know much more than me, because I am not a concrete or brick expert. However, in discussions, I realized there are several details/general issues not related to concrete that I feel were overlooked. IF I had the capacity, I would be more than happy to be as involved as I feel it will take. However, I really don’t have the capacity to be that involved. In the past your Dad mentioned the possibility of working with Buttler, and I believe that might be the best solution for moving forward. I sincerely hope that my decision doesn't impact our friendship. I'm still here to offer support in any way I can. Fortunately, this change shouldn't cause any delays, as you can coordinate with Buttler, or any other contractor, to handle the permit while the COA is being processed. I apologize for not being able to contribute more with this matter at this time. Larry Virus-free.www.avast.com
