The second loophole was pretty much what my grandfather counted on when he installed the ramp. Unfortunately, it's a cement ramp that's reinforced with rebar. As the house settled overtime, the ramp became wedged into the carport and brick. It's safe, but it's also permanent. Thank you for...

How bizarre that you'd need a permit for other types of therapy, but this one goes unchecked. Maybe it's because it's seen as pseudoscience that isn't genuine therapy. It still seems unfair, because legitimate businesses and professionals must follow the permitting rules.

A good home inspection is something that you shouldn't skimp on. What a shame that there aren't enough inspectors to go around in Sooke. Hopefully they'll find some new hires soon.

That's an interesting news story. I'm surprised that the city isn't making it as easy as possible for the drivers to comply with the permit rules. Electric vehicles are supposed to be more environmentally friendly, and ride-sharing usually saves on carbon emissions, so the city could get a lot...

is often the most efficient and economical way of moving forward. Would you agree with that? Unfortunately, my grandfather decided to add a ramp to his entranceway without getting the proper permit to do so. He also didn't have it inspected. He expected to save time and money that way...

I'm interested to see how this plays out. Daytona is a hot tourist area, so I imagine they're hoping that simplifying the process will help bring in additional tax revenue. The easier that they make licensing and permitting, the better it will be for the whole community, as it's likely to...

It's fantastic that you can do electrical work, @TradeJack. I would love to have a handy skill like that. I'm not sure whether you'll be able to go it alone in this case, since some jurisdictions actually require a licensed contractor to pull the permit. Even if you do all the electrical...

Some families find solace in scattering their loved one's ashes within an idyllic scene. While the idea sounds like a beautiful way to honor a loved one, it's important to check on the permitting rules first. For instance, most of our National Parks allow some form of scattering, so long as...

I saw something about it on the news the other day. Some folks are really upset about the new regulations, but it seems pretty reasonable to me. Do you think it will end up pricing short-term rentals out of the market?

I used to live there, so I have some experience with this office. During the height of the pandemic, the office was closed to visitors, so definitely check that it's open before heading there. Folks will have a better experience if they go to the office during business hours, rather than...
