    City revokes my building permit

    Update: things have gotten even more questionable. The mayor said she would try to get back with me in 24 hours. That was on Monday. I patiently waited until today and couldn't wait any longer. I called City Hall at 10 am and was told she was in a meeting. I left my name and number. At...

    City revokes my building permit

    Here are some pics: A lawyer would probably be very effective but they're very expensive. I'm thinking of calling every newspaper and radio station in the area to let them know how this city is treating me.

    Anyone have a "TuffShed" garage?

    I'm interested in having a detached garage built in the backyard in the next 6-9 months. I'm not really sure where to start or how to solicit bids from competent contractors. What I've found is a company called, Tuff Shed. I think they're mostly known for building storage buildings for HD and...
