A new deck that was built on a Sunday, without permits...

[rshuey]

is this some craftsmanship, or what?

And your violation notice said...?

 

[rshuey]

It was more of an unsafe structure notice. It's pretty impossible to fix that deck, so they are removing it and starting over. the homeowner had a few friends that are "professional contractors" build it for her. Pretty funny.

 

[vegas paul]

Perhaps next time she should wait until it's finished before serving liquid refreshments to her friends!

 

[rshuey]

I believe that would be a wise idea. She almost ordered a hot tub for on it.

I thought is was just my area. It is a Pennsyltucky thing.

Looks like the liquid refreshment was stronger than beer. You think the hot tub would have gotten full before the deck hit the ground?

 

[JBI]

Jeff, Don't kid yourself. It's not just a PA thing. It happens all over the place.

Whatever 'profession' her friends have, it most certainly is not construction.

The fewer the nails the easier the demo...
