Here's the scenario: The Army Corps of Engineers are tasked with building a series of waterways / canals to shuttle rainwater from the Parts of the U.S. that get tons of rain, to the parts that get next to none. An environmental project of epic magnitude, to be sure. How hard would it be to do...

Considering the Olympic Committee basically builds its own village in whichever town decides to host the Olympics, I would say every permit imaginable. Then again, I hear that every host city loses financially on the deal, so maybe the Committee gets all of their permit fees waived.

I wonder if anyone knows how to get a tracking chip in an animal after it's been shot. Like, put one IN the bullet. Have an app that can track the signal of the chip, and there's no need for a drone.

Instead of a roof, fasten a tarp over the area. No need for a roof, really, if it's just a dog run. Technically, it's not a structure to be permitted because of the intended use. As Jeff said, get with the building department and get a list of all codes relevant to the project. Sounds like...

You can put materials on hold until a permit is approved. It is very shortsighted to buy something, not knowing if you can use it or not. At least with Home Depot there is a return policy that's even better if you use their card versus your own own.

I don't know if they expect it to be realistic, just a goal to shoot for. The loftier the goal, the more certain people will like it and the more people will think it's a great idea. It wouldn't be a great idea without lofty goals, riight?

To expand on the homeless situation a bit, should municipalities stop asking for permits to feed homeless citizens outside? People the country over seem to be frustrated that there are so many solutions to mitigate or end the problem, but permits and zoning always seem to get in the way. If...

In my younger days, I would have taken their license plate. :LOL: Or called the cops and tell them there's suspicious activity stemming from that vehicle. I would say call the police and tell them the situation.

That's good to know. My brother in Niles was just about to sell some rainwater on the black market. lol I wonder why the lawmakers felt it necessary to specify the uses?

These are in Prescott Valley off Fain and Viewpoint. I didn't go out and take measurements, but the door frames look to be 2 to 2 1/2 feet wide. If I was struggling and this came up and I met the financial criteria, I'd buy one.

With a lot of them, it's not so much that they choose homelessness but rather don't want to conform to rules. At all. Homelessness is just a by-product of that decision, and the longer you're out there on the streets, the harder it is to acclimate back into society.

I always thought beekeeping was a cool, little hobby. I always associated that with rural settings and not a metro like Boston, though. I guess you can do it anywhere.

I found a discussion on Reddit last night that I found intriguing. It was about the homeless problem in a major metro area and how there are so many reasons for different people and familes being homeless. It used to be just certain types of people living on the streets, now it's a wide...

That last guess is the most probable IMO. Without making this a full-blown rant, the NRA is wholly responsible for the gun culture and violence in this country. They need to go away.

I see it more as a backup plan in case you lose your wallet. It's always good to have second copies of things, like car keys as well.

If a company goes out there mining and finds a shipwreck, I'm sure they would notify whomever they need to notify. In that area of the world, I would think that Viking wreckage would be all they find.

Do a little "digging" into information on how deep gas, water or electrical lines go underground. Square that information with how deep your plant/tree has to go and determine the need to call from that. I think companies have to put that information on their product by law because different...

I still think driverless vehicles should be kept in places like airports that shuttle people to and from the parking lots to the terminals. There are a lot less traffic variables in areas like that. Anywhere there is a fixed route to be driven on, is where driverless vehicles should be kept.

I don't think changing the zoning in an area of town is what cities do. Most multi-family homes fit the criteria for assisted living homes anyway, so it's just a matter of making minor ADA type adjustments to an existing home, if need be.

We can call it the Stone Age, or we can call it simplicity. I doubt it was an Amish community that required permits for this. That's not something they would do. They would just shun a woman who put on make-up because it would be obvious that she wasn't interested in the way of life anymore.
