Stapes, anvil, stirrup, I think are the little ear bones.

just asked my doctor friend. She said that it's possible. :eek3:
 
I also heard of getting a graft to replace the missing eardrum. Without it or even punctured it isn't very safe as it is a pathway to the brain.

I know what I am speaking of as the person with the most scarred tympanic membrane my doctor has ever seen.
 
Now, just got an email with the proposal from a surveyor to look at property and do what hew does so we can get this construction going. He wants $1400 for this. I called the Town Hall and they said he is asking too much and wanting to do too much.

1. Boundary Survey with Improvements for the existing lot.
2. Provide surveys for the existing legal lot showing all of the existing improvements.
3. Provide surveys for each of the separate lots showing the improvements on each.
4. Reflect on all of the surveys the setbacks dimensions from each building to their applicable property line.
**Total cost of the above would be $800.00

5. Set a Benchmark and shoot elevations around the lot that the septic is going on and show on the survey for the Health Department the size and location of the Septic System. $200.00
6. Prepare Septic Application $400.00

Does this sound right? We currently have a double lot, with a house and 2 car carport on one lot and the 3 bay garage on the other lot. 2 separate driveways. No utilities connected to the garage. Underground sprinkler system on both lots connected to the well water on the lot with the house. (That would stay the same).

The surveyor is saying it is subdividing 1 lot into 2 lots, but the Town Hall and the courthouse have said that it is already 2 lots. Planning and Zoning also shows that it is 2 lots currently. MIL's property tax bill is for 1 total, but has a line for each lot.

This is confusing for me.

You should get the full survey. It will save lots of time, money and aggravation in the future.

I thought that's what all this boiled down to. That's why I am confused, I will let hubby deal with this.

My daughter had it down twice ... to the same ear. The first time when she was still growing, they used a piece of skin from behind her ear. It didn't "take", so they waited till she finished growing and then took some of the membrane that's in front of the ear opening and used it. That worked. Her hearing is a little "off" because of the thickness of the membrane, but not enough to be a bother.
 
Thinking that my seasonal employer better not be giving away all of our jobs. :mad:

Can you get a second opinion? Since you are paying the bills, you should decide to what extent your property is surveyed. A second opinion from a different surveyor?

Am thinking that's what hubby will do. We were told by 2 or 3 others that all of the things mentioned by this one would only run $300-400 except for the permit application for the Septic tank.
 
Well - seems hubby had already contacted other surveyors and MIL did as well. Everyone is charging that much and this is actually the best one so far. (Seems that MIL did not tell me all of the correct info regarding this lot.)

We are going with this proposal and will get the ball rolling ASAP.
 
I have talked to a friend of mine today and we may be rooming together in a house sometime in the near future which means I am moving out hopefully. I will still be in the same city, but at least I will be out of my parents house. We have decided to think it over for a week before we set anything in stone to be absolutely sure this is what we both want to do. We will be sharing a 3 bedroom, one bathroom house. My part of the rent will be 150/month plus half of all utilities and half of groceries. I think this is a good deal but we will see.

Sounds like a good thing. The only problem I have is ya said that ya father has a penchant of finding where you are to berate you. I think you still should contact the abused women's group to see what you can do about that (other than getting a order of protection against him) before it happens.

If he does, he can be told by my friend to piss off as he's trespassing on her private property and harassing her tenant. Plus this will give me more freedom in making my own choices.
