I just watched 300, so maybe my wording was a bit strong. More like
an ambush is what I am planning. Go through the hooops of obtaining
a permit. Finding a suitable design. Then proceed to build, killing
the inspector with kindness. Providing information to turn the tide
of objections I am likely to encounter. I just think a project would
be eye-opening for both parties. Once we got a few locals turned
this direction, maybe it would gain momentunm.
Anyone have a 100 sq ft design for a shed handy?
