"Give the man a hand!"

You need to get pre-approved by a lender, find out what your debt/income ratio is, and the lender will be able to show what your monthly payments are.

Some counties are overly strict when it comes to retro-active permits, and if it is not up to code, you may still be required to remove modifications, or they may come up with their own plan.

What county/city (if you feel comfortable sharing that) is the property located in?

The other user that responded is correct (u/Salmundo), ingress/egress may be a real concern. As there are specific rules for windows, escape routes (fire safety), and the like.

Counties will often freeze any future permits until you bring the property up to code. They may also have fines, and/or could force you to bring the property up to code if they have strict code enforcement.

In the future, they will be rather restricted if they wanted to sell the home, as lenders will often not lend on a property that has unpermitted modifications or renovations. That means cash only sales, it could also create a variety of issues with home inspectors (if the home was on market) and potential buyers.

Nobody is going to come look at the home out of the blue, however, it potentially could cause issues for future remodels, resale, and renovations.

I didn't care for it as much, and the original has a great cast. If you're not into older movies, the newer one is passable, but a pale comparison to the original, in my opinion.

Flight of the Phoenix, the original.

Thank you! I did some research, and sure enough they seem solid. Appreciate the link!

You, apparently, got the one bad one! =)

Who uses glass plates?

I otherwise am in full agreement, but a glass plate seems like a terrible idea.

I also just learned they exist.

I looked through your website, many more great pieces. I especially enjoy your architecture pieces, and the ship on the high seas.

Great stuff, thank you for sharing.

Very well done. The clouds, foliage, use of negative space, and mixture of ink & watercolor all work brilliantly together.

Happy birthday then! It is my birthday too, and I have loved that Carl Sagan and I share a birthday, and you too, u/Theundercave.
