"Redneck" and "hillbilly" are pejoratives similar to the "n" word and not usually accepted as proper references, Jeff. To apply these words to people who wish to pursue a wholesome hobby such as vehicle restoration on their own private property goes against the grain of living in what some of...

Excellent point! Particularly if something large, green, and weighty is parked fore and aft, in the way!

Land of the free is not free with crazy neighbors.

One more pitiful p*ssing contest with someone who has no life other than his/her petty office, against someone who has more than a life, a passion and==dare we say it==something that gives him or her a lot of enjoyment? Those with no life just don't get those of us who do....

A continuation while the attorneys bounce letters back and forth and run up the bill?

Hopefully you will get some closure on this, and not just more extended bullsh*t. Good luck

Code enforcement falls under the category of the old proverb; a dog needs a few fleas to remind it that it's a dog...

This is the land of the free until you get some joker who decides the only way to be free is THEIR way--we live in a densely wooded area, and it amazes me the people who buy lots out here then proceed to cut every tree and destroy every scrap of organic material on the ground--then want to...

Good old Catch-22; the officer "sees nothing wrong" and cannot cite a violation, but you are expected to move the bloody things around to "show progress"???? Well, I always heard the saying that the only choices we don't have in life are our relatives and our neighbors....

Good points, Jon. There is a difference between outright garbage and clutter, rodent/pest harborages, potential contaminants of private wells (which we depend on for water in our rural setting) and useful or interesting stuff that may not be tidy. Involving law or code enforcement should be a...

Good morning, Flyingvan, well put and to the point. You've melted the grease out of our and other posts and got to the basics. One addition to your basic list we'd suggest, though, is to GET NAMES. In other words, contact by email or registered mail "Joe Bloggs, Code Enforcement Officer"...

Hey 3 star, we feel a lot of compassion for your situation, and we have been in your shoes. If we could suggest something: don't try to get information via phone calls, either contact "enforcement" types via email or certified letter, so you have a documented record of having tried to approach...
