A Toronto father has been forced to dismantle and move a pirate ship he built for his two children after an a neighbour anonymously complained to the city.
Should have built it about 3' lower so the kids couldn't see over the fence into the other yards. That's probably what set off the trouble because no one likes the folks next door gawking into their back yard.
Lucky kids having a dad like that to have built it!
I grew up on a farm in SK. I didn't grow up with building codes and bylaws limiting anything my Dad did on his property.
I estimate that to date city bylaw crap has cost me about $100,000.00
I've learned you don't have to be that smart to be an inspector, also the city of Penticton can pound sand.
