Oh yikes! How nice of the other crises to wait til your surgical recovery was so well along. I bet not every crisis waited, though.
David rewired our previous house and dutifully got a permit and reported when the work was done. No inspector showed up until we hired a general contractor to oversee renovating the kitchen. The contractor's idea about permits was to wait and see if the city noticed, and get a permit at that point. Who should show up a few days into the kitchen work but a city inspector wanting to look at David's three-year-old wiring project. While he was doing that, the contractor vanished downtown and applied for permits to fix up the kitchen.
The inspectors for the kitchen caused a few delays, but nobody waited three years again, at least.

I hope all goes as smoothly as it may.
