choked &%$#*@&

you know... i've been thinking a lot about these permit guys... and i can't imagine what an unhappy life they must lead to be so miserable in their work. i feel sorry for them... living their lives.

i'm going to focus my energy towards them - sending them love. perhaps will assist them in their lives.

in light,
aleesha

oh man... we went out and bought a shed and playhouse made of cedar so our kids could have a GREAT fort to play in. you know, keep them off the streets and out of the parks at night... give them a place to hang out. (our kids are 7 and 12) - so the little one gets to play in it during the day and the teenagers hang out in it at night.

we've been working like crazy on it. the shed is 8' x 6' and we have it beside the house and we put the playhouse 6' x 6' on top of it, cut a hole in the floor and made a trap door and a ladder inside the shed so the kids can go up and down... and we can lock the shed from the inside so the older ones can camp out in it in the summer. we stained it to match the house, put a red border on it to make it just like our house... looks great by the way (not quite finished but almost there)

so today the district rep. comes to our door and says we have to stop work on it and get rid of it.

it has to be 1.5 metres from the property line (that's 5') and there isn't that much room available there (and no where else to put it) we've place it at the top of our driveway beside the garage and there's only 9' between the garage and the fence...

and it can't be over 12' and it'll be about 14' with the roof.

AND even though it's stacked and really a two story playhouse (as they'll use the bottom for a playhouse and then in years to come, we'll use it as a shed when they are done with it) they consider it two buildings and since we have a shed in the backyard... we can only have one more building in the yard!

this sucks! we paid so much $$ for the wood and stain and all the labour we've put into it and now it has to go.

my hubby is going to talk to the district rep next week...

i'm so disappointed for my kids. people across the street have a playhouse with a shed below it that's waaaaaaaay higher than ours... this isn't fair :(

You may need to get a building permit. Im sorry to hear this though. That soo sad... :mad: Like when our dog had puppies back when I was 12 we had th dad and we decided to keep the girl because she had great build and she was my favorite and mom letted me have my first dog. lol. And well we had this HUGE fenced in yard and a dog house and everythign then animal control comes over saying we have too many dogs!!!! Only 3 dogs and us. Not too many. And people said my dog scared people!!! Just because my dog is almost all black with blue eyes doesnt mean she is a devill.. people are soo dumb nowadays. :rolls eyes: When I figur ehow to post a pic I'll show you a pic of Lindy my dog. We did however get to keep all our dogs and told the animal control our dog is 100% controled whenever she is outside.. and she doesnt hurt or even try to. She just ays there staring at people when they walk but her mom and dad would be the ones growling and making the fuss... Well thats all besides the point. Im sure you'll be able to fix the problem. :oops:

turns out it's the by law guy coming over regarding our back yard and not the permit guy for the playhouse.

so i wonder what he'll have to say...

sending positive vibes my way for this meeting tomorrow :wuv:

(we don't need a permit for the playhouse - they say we can only have one building and so since we have a shed in the back already... we need to remove it in order to keep the kids playhouse and we need their permission to remove the older shed... so we wait...)

Permission to remove something from YOUR yard they are a bunch of jokes.Be sure to ask his permission if you have to use the bathroom now :grabbed: :grabbed: :grabbed: :irkd: :P :P

The joys of living in the middle of nowhere become more appearant when I read things like this.
I wish you much luck

Sending positive vibes your way. :gj: :hug:

well he didn't show up. and hasn't shown up yet!

i think it's all about 'power and control' - as many people in this profession (being a by-law officer) are into that (from what i've read and seen)...

so we will wait till he decides to show up.

ah the joys of living within the town limits! (and my tax dollars are paying his wage???)
