I have been modifying my shed of late. Our council and I don't get on as they think they have the power. But I have the power its my land and welder and grinder I win  . It was not an extension  I am quite pleased with it as I started with some posts and each week planned the next stage and what I needed to do it. It will fit 10 Isuzu cars  I need to get some guttering yet.

The big shed is beside it that's when I had a whoops with council. They had 3000 reasons why it could not be built. After a heap of nasty letters they gave up.

So the moral of the story is build a bigger shed in the first place for just in case you need to....................(fill in the blanks). Expand the business House burns down and you need somewhere to live Find a farm shed out the back of central queensland with more belletts, wasps and spare parts than your've ever owned in your life and no-one showed up for the clearance sale

I told them once they should not take on any other projects until they get pothole sorted out first. As they seem to struggle with that.

Pot holes are for the bad boys from correctional services to do Councils just can't stand someone doing it for themselves without cashing in on some tax or other  And who designed the VERY, VERY, cute GTR.....Awwwww. They captured it's true cheekyness.  Quick council story: We bordered on the civic centre when building on a new property in Laura. We quoted for 1.8 metre colourbond fence for privacy from the many functions happening next door. They said could only contribute cost for half of a 1 metre high coro fence. Much nasty letters to and fro and visits from dickhead building inspector. We ended up paying full amount for 1.8 high and sent them account for their bit. They went quiet and we never saw a cent.  B.

Send the Bastards a bill for the interest, that's what they would do if you don't pay your rates.

Problems with people working for Council.
Vast majority think they will one day be the Mayor, and in the meantime, behave just like they are!
Cant be the man at home cause of her indoors, but at work I can tell everyone what to do...
Hero in my own lunchbox indeed
