You may have tried to validate, but it needed more info to do it. This 
works:
Transitional:
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fmywebpages.comcast.net%2Fdesignengineering%2Fpermitsandapprovals.
html&doctype=HTML+4.01+Strict&charset=iso-8859-1+%28Western+Europe%29&No200=
1&verbose=1
Strict:
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fmywebpages.comcast.net%2Fdesignengineering%2Fpermitsandapprovals.
html&doctype=HTML+4.01+Strict&charset=iso-8859-1+%28Western+Europe%29&No200=
1&verbose=1

• Div's don't align left; they are blocks, not tables. You position them 
relative to their containing block.
See Chapter 9, "9 Visual formatting model" at 
http://www.meyerweb.com/eric/css/references/css2ref.html.
A little easier to follow is http://www.brainjar.com/css/positioning/
or http://www.webreference.com/html/tutorial18/1.html

The thing is that the div on this page really isn't doing anything - you 
could just apply those properties to the body since the only div 
encloses everything. This page does lend itself to CSS positioning 
instead of tables, but if you have a time problem maybe it should happen 
later. It took me 6 months to get it at all!

• In your styles, "times new roman" must be enclosed with quotes. See: 
"font-family property" at 
http://www.meyerweb.com/eric/css/references/css2ref.html

• There's too much white space on the right. For your column widths try 
something like 30%/50% rather than 14%/67%.

• I hope these are mock graphics, because they're way too fuzzy, with 
the exception of the building photo.
