Bad Munki posted:Yes but when you and your wife are separated but not in a legal sense because of tax purposes, where will the other of you stay? She can have the house, and I'll live in the fully furnished suite above the carriage house.  Burt Sexual posted:I like it If it had a good layer of epoxy over it rather than (as they say in the description) polyurethane, I'd be okay with it. That floor is going to be a wreck the first time they have to move an appliance. Bozart posted:She can call the town zoning board to see if they have violated any code (such as setback) or not permitted work which could be dangerous, if for example the retaining wall cannot support the weight of those bricks. On the other hand trespass would require her to actually tell the guys that they shouldn't be there and please leave, after which if they stay it is trespass. Usually the town wants people to have access to maintain their property so they might say the workers being there is ok, but maybe your mom could delay it awhile (and make it cost more) with a lawyer or something. In any case if they are going onto her property and putting things there she should have a talk with both her neighbor and the guy in charge of the workers to make sure that anything that is damaged is repaired, and she should take pictures of things that are. Then if they don't fix it she could call her homeowner's insurance and they'll subrogate. This is why most places won't let you build up to within an inch of your property line, so you don't automatically create a need for an easement from your neighbor to access the property you've just walled yourself off from being able to maintain. If they pulled a permit for that, I'll be shocked. Liquid Communism fucked around with this message at 09:06 on Sep 29, 2016 |

What would the state be reimbursing that idiot for? quote:Because he had a signed contract with a licensed contractor, the owner applied for reimbursement from the state contractor's fund, which provides up to $15,000 to remedy unfinished jobs or poor workmanship. The money comes from a "home improvement licensing fee" attached to every building permit issued in Connecticut. The state will aggressively seek repayment from the contractor who did the work.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/loca...424d_story.html That quality is probably fine, but the general neighborhood fygm attitude makes it work. TL;dr is a builder is spiting his neighbors with a barely legal garage inches from their newly renovated kitchen window.

Bondematt posted:A licensed contractor did that. I hope there is an actual box behind that faceplate and not a square sized hole. I like that wall, actually. It lets light in and could very much be needed if there is no other place to place a television. There are ways to build it as a temporary structure with minimum damage to walls and ceilings. However, the reddit guy did a permanent install, which is ill advised, but oh well. I'd let my tenants get away with it, at the expense of their security deposit. Also, the penny floor/surface can work great, as long as there is enough poly on top. As evidenced by cardboard floor people, if you have enough poly, what's underneath is juts a matter of aesthetics. I'd polish the poo poo out of those coins tho
