Jerry - 1, County Code - 1. I win! ( halfway....)

 Well, my fight with the county over my car "shed" has come to an end, 
finally. I cut my hair, wore a suit, and went down to the county offices, and 
straightened the 'crats out, and got it fixed finally. Apparently when Zoning 
drew the little line on the Plat for the shed, it looked like it was attached 
to the garage ( at least on paper, although it says clearly on the sheet " 
Detached Structure " stamped in red. Damn literal-minded pencil-pushers! They 
changed it after I showed my pics of the shed from 3 angles, agreed it was 
detached, and I went on my way after they redrew the little picture on the 
Plat. I'm still having to legalize the cars with tags or hide them, though, 
going to swap gremlins between garage and driveway now, as I got tags for the 
GT ( finally!!! ). then I'll have the Subaru donated to the fire station, 
they agreed to take it, it's only 3 blocks away. Woo-hoo! almost done, then. 
I know who the guilty party is pretty much ( next door neighbor ) I found out 
that my pop-up camper had been reported as well. The code Enforcer said all 
my stuff was legal to him, though, but he referred the shed to the Planning 
division, which then proceeded to "assume" because of a missing line on the 
artwork, it was an "attached" structure. But, alls well that ends well! AND, 
there's some peeling paint on THEIR old antique car port made of old window 
panes...guess a call to the County to have them get it painted to meet code 
will be in order! Heh heh! Anyway, will work on pulling the motor of the 'Ru 
tomorrow morn, then head to Richmond for the NASCAR race that nite. Fun! 
Well, that's my report, catch everyone later,

Jerry
one happy AMC owner...
