a small roadblock

after taking the plans in for a prelim screen, there were a couple of small things that needed to be fixed before submittal. most of them were simple changes and calcs that didnt take too long. but one requires either an expensive shoring plan for the excavation of the foundation, or a simple letter signed by one of the neighbors. i opted for option 2, the neighbor. well, that was 12 days ago and i haven't heard anything back. i talked about it with her, and dropped the letter off with the understanding that she would read it over and sign. now its been 12 days and 2 follow-ups and still nothing. she's really nice, and she'll be a cool neighbor, so i dont want to bug her about it. but i'm not sure that she realizes that she is holding things up.
so tonight i'll make one more attempt, then its on to plan a i guess.
the plan changes, the budget rises...
