city city city

so i went the city yesterday to submit an amendment set of drawings to a set of drawings we got permited a while back ago. i've clouded the changes so that it would be easier for the city to note the changes and what do they do? they pay attention to everything but the clouded areas.

i mention to them that we already got the permit for those areas, we're only concentrating on the clouded areas because that's where the changes occur. they were re-checking everything they signed off and permitted for already.

anyways, everything was going so so until there was a discrepancy with the mechanical drawings. then the contractor mentioned that what was built on field is not what is drawn on plan (ie, maybe such comments should be kept to oneself). so our plans were wrong because the contractor didn't build it the way we drawn it.

so all in all, it was a pretty good morning at the city. we got chewed out, had our mistakes pointed out to us, and will have to redo our drawings again and have the rest of the consultants redo their drawings again and reprint 3 sets each again and resubmit back to the city again to pull the permit.

to top it all off, the building is almost done being built.
