Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

[MoonSong]

The moment you're glad with your lot in life and not having to give a concrete answer to a philosophical question because it is a life or death answer since you live with a self-imposed burden that does nothing for you or anybody else.

I just feel no need to give my neighbors quasilegal abilities to harass me because they don't agree with aesthetics or function. If they have a problem, talk to the city or county about it.

With some stuff- at least down here- you really do need to get HOA approval first because the contractors won’t start the job without clearance. That was the case with our fence replacement.

Unfortunately for us in that case, the combination of getting that clearance and being good neighbors by pushing the job back a month. They had a visitor from the UK who was staying for 3-4 weeks, and we didn’t want to sour that with the noise of a work crew. But unbeknownst to us, that changed starting time meant that the city’s new building code for fences had changed. The contractor had to get new permits and actually alter the construction plan & techniques.

I deal enough with this a construction PM for a corp. I dont want to be dealing with this on my own. If the cobblers kids have no shoes, I guess this PM's kids have no fence.

Well, I am at least self-aware enough to correct my mistakes, some of the time.

Now, to avoid making those mistakes in the first place? HA!

Think of it as a public service, helping other people learn from your mistakes, instead of their own. Why, you're practically a philanthropist!

Practically? I have often been accused of being a serial philanthropist by my significant others!

One of these days, Ima get dictionary.
