Have to hide your boat

Seems the city told this gentleman that he had to 'hide' his boat by putting it behind a fence. He did, and painted the fence.

I LOVE it!!!!!

He followed their regulation. He put up a fence/barrier. Yet,, I'll bet the description of what the barrier must look like is not in their codes.

That's awesome! I'd like to be his neighbor.

If it is not in the code then they, the city, will probably make a new one to address it.

That part of the coast is usually pretty laid back. I'd suspect the code enforcer is just one of those with a little power who seem intent on abusing it.

After a small earthquake my wife noticed the chimney which we never used as we were sensitive to the smoke, we had a handyman tear it all down, which left a large portion of the wall which used to be the entrance to a garage/converted to a den, quite bare. My wife asked me what to do. I told her since she was quite the artist, she should paint a window with curtains on it and a busy-body neighbor woman with binoculars in it, just like the lady who lived across the street from us who had called the building department to see if our handyman had a permit to tear down the chimney. He explained it had been put up without a permit and it was not attached to the house. Building inspector let it go. He also mentioned the busy body neighbor to our handyman who mentioned it to me, which is where I got the idea for the picture. Sure wish my wife had painted the picture! Would have been a riot!!!

If he'd spent half as much effort learning the rules of where he WANTED TO MOVE, everyone might have been a lot happier.
