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.

Are you at the point where you need - or could use - other hands helping?

We've got Kat's family in town for the weekend, but I could probably cut free for a couple of hours at least.

It sounds like it's time for a barn-raising...er, house-fixing party. I, as usual when my friends need me, will be out of town for six days right when you need help.

Do you want help ?

Wow. Actual enforcement of that sort of thing? Good luck with the projects.

The wife told me that stumps aren't difficult, "just do a little bit every day and it will be gone". I asked her if she ever played with a stump before...no. After the six week, chainsaw, cable-chain come-a-long, two truckloads to the dump--- festival, she hasn't choosen to be involved in the last twenty-two stump removals (four to go!). I have all the tools now if you need any.
