So Mom wanted to install solar on her house before she died. There was always a lot of treehugger in her, and she loved solar power. So I signed a deal to install it on my house as well. Then she died. I got her installation cancelled due to her dying, but mine went on. And on. And on. And they could never get it right. All of this at the same time as I was moving out of my house and to Mom’s house and needed to get a rental certificate. Which I couldn’t get because the solar panel installation wasn’t complete. The company went out of business before they could finish it. But a new company completed it just this month. And then I took and passed the certification test.

So now, for the first time since Mom died, I’m actually fully legal to rent again. Until October 1. Yes. The process took so long that it is now time for a new certification process. Gotta love the chaos. The good news is that since I’ve paid for the next permit, and the inspection is scheduled, I will still be fully legal to rent as we go through the process. But it is awful nice to finally be off the naughty list. Not that I was on the REALLY naughty list. They knew what was up and Rochester plays nice with homeowners that are at least putting good faith effort into following Rochester code. And they know me by SIGHT at the office by now, I’ve been talking to them so much. It is still awful nice to finally be off the naughty list.
