Aargh.

Day 43: Beard Stubble Manly, Still Not King.

Not that I'm trying, mind you. But the castle of this knight needs help; got the ticket this morning, made it to the door in a robe before the inspector left, convinced him I had a permit so I didn't need to stop work on the tree removal. Tree removal without permit, weeds, junk, damaged fence, all must be fixed/replaced/repaired by Nov. 8th.

Shoulda known it, with 3 houses for sale on the street.

STUMP!

Amusing anecdote:

A few days after replacing my roof, one of my neighbors handed me a card froma City of Oakland Building Inspector, and told me I needed to call him. So I did; the building inspector asked about the roof work I had done, which I characterized as "repairs". He said that because it was a repair job, I didn't need a permit. He also told me that I had to get the pile of debris disposed of, and that the complaint was called in because of the pile of debris. The guy two houses down, who enclosed a porch and did much other work without a permit, got nailed with a $1000-fine stop-work order.
