We had a 20,000 gal. LP tank's un-permitted stand pipe fueling station spring a leak. a truck backed into it and knocked it over. The gas spread across the lot to an un-permitted shed and blew the shed up when it hit the base board heaters.

Thank God no one was there at 4am.

I found out about all of this when an electrician came into get a permit to repair the electrical wiring that had been destroyed, again it went in with no permit the first time.

Once I threw a coniption, the inspector for the area thought he may have to go post the new shed they put in with out permits. I just know the good ol boy got out of the bag there. Can't prove a thing though.
