A Note About The Previous Entry

I've received a couple of emails asking if that is my shop / out building in the photo of the previous entry.

No. It belongs to my neighbor Ken and Karen J.

K&K are great neighbors. Some of the nicest people you'll ever meet.

When they built their shop, they sort of ignored some basics - like - getting a building permit and adhering to local regulations regarding building set backs from property lines.

They were of the opinion they didn't need a building permit since they built the shop themselves (not true). And, since they assumed they didn't have to get a building permit - they also assumed that development / building regulations didn't apply as well. In this case - the requirement that buildings / structures need to be a minimum of 10 feet back from a property line.

K&K are really sweet people. But to be honest, they're not the sharpest tacks in the box.

Their shop is about 18 inches from the property line. They sort of 'eye balled' where the lot line was and lucked out in that they didn't actually build it on my lot.

LOL

If you look at the photo - the tree is on my lot - and the lot line is between the tree and their shop.

They also built a pole barn / open shed to park their RV under in their front yard. Most definitely against sub-division regulations and county ordinances.

When K&K built the RV shed - other neighbors asked me to "speak" to K&K about it. Which I declined to do.

I don't care what K&K do. Even if they break the rules, it doesn't materially affect me.

Yes - the RV Shed does look out of place. Actually - kind of trailer park looking.

But - what the hell. I have more important things in my life to worry about other than if my next door neighbor builds a shed in their front yard or a shop too close to my lot line.
