Quoted from yaksplat:The town completely shut him down and he hasn't said a peep since the cops were at his front door. He now eats dinner on the opposite side of his kitchen table so he doesn't have to see anything out here.
Funny thing is that I built his deck and fireplace, and he just put in a new hot water tank for me since it had to be relocated and now be a direct vent instead of using a chimney. He was a decent guy, but I never had a beer with him in the 16 years that I've lived here, and he's been here 27. Just neighborly fence chatting.
I have wood coming tomorrow. I can frame out one section and lay out the remainder of the sill and rim joist. Beams will be ordered today and installed next week. As soon as the beams and columns are installed, the floor can be poured.
No one likes change, maybe once he sees it completed, he'll feel differently.
