Tim,
I can work with this. I will add a note on the plans that grab bars will be added to the restroom in the new space, and will
be verified for compliance by the building inspector. (This will include horizontal bars behind and beside the toilet as
well as a vertical bar on the side wall next to the toilet.) As for the $1500 expense, I see that this is at least 20% of the
overall construction valuation that you recently provided ($8800 less the $1500 for the overhead door that is not
included, comes to $7300) and thus satisfies item 11. 1 should be signed off today, and once Fire signs off, Elyssa will be
contacted to pick up the permit.
Thanks,
Leif

Hi Leif. Elyssa has added grab bars into the restroom notionally to ADA spec. Her husband Danny is a
professional carpenter and to my visual inspection has completed the work correctly. I'm willing to document
the work for the record. This would be around $1500 of work if done at market rate. From what I see the rest of
the project meets accessibility code. Will an email suffice for documentation of this element? 9

Elyssa,
Whether this item gets addressed by you or Tim does not matter. If you can put together the list of upgraded features
and their respective costs I can take a look at it. Alternatively, I know it's not my business, but couldn't you show your
landlord that your project is viable and down to the last details, and likely to be permitted soon?

Leif,
As you know I am on a serious time limit with my landlord. Is there anything I can do to push this along to get
it signed off. I need this signed off this week or I may loose my lease.

iTim,
I have reviewed your latest responses to my comments and still have one issue that needs to be addressed.
Please revisit item 11 in my comment letter that requires accessible upgrades triggered by the alterations in the
project. If you have questions on this let me know. I can leave my review open for a day or two if you can
address this promptly.
Thanks,
Leif Bjorback,
