We Fired Our Parking Engineer...

So, yep that happened....

Bottom line - It was like pulling teeth to get anything concrete to submit to the county... and 1 day she lost it.

So here I am... singing in the car, stopping at fruit stands, heading to Lover's Treehouse site - feeling pretty light and breezy.  I arrive to the site, and the owner of the company (We'll call her Lisa) meets me there with an employee (we'll call him Dan)  Now, the owner has been known to talk bad about people here and there, but never foresaw the following...

I am up on the top/back of the lot, and I can hear a neighbor asking Lisa to be careful climbing the retaining because it is deteriorating.  Lisa must have been having a bad day because she instantly went off on this neighbor... (which really doesn't help our case, seeing that not all the neighbors are stoked we're building a treehouse)  Lisa began yelling at her, told her to "get," started shooing her away, called her a hillbilly...  and the words kept coming out of her mouth!  She got in her car, left angrily and left Dan behind.... I was in complete shock and knew I didn't want to work with that type of energy, nor did I want to bring that energy to the surrounding neighbors.  And so she was let go...

The happy ending:  We are now working with Kadtec and our contact has been on top of it!  Talking with the county, making things happen and will have a plan to us soon ;)

Till next time ;)
