do you have a permit for that?

i'm all for being neighborly and all...but where do you draw the line?  in a recent exchange of words, we were informed that our neighbor was not thrilled (to say the least) with the idea of us putting in a heater in the garage.  we've recently renovated our two car garage into a home studio, and well...it's COLD in the winter!  totally legal and within our rights as homeowners, but he had a list of reasons as to why we shouldn't install the thing.  among them...air quality and a potential fire hazard.  agreed.  a fire hazard is a valid concern; however, how many wood burning stoves, fireplaces and fire pits are there in the world?  give me a break.  this was even during the time when we had the contractor over to make sure the vent for the thing was correctly installed.  geesh.  oh...and this comes about 2 weeks after our other neighbors asked us not to park on the street in front of their house.  excuse me..but street parking is public parking.  and someone was parked in front of our house.

FLEXIBILITY IS AN ASSET.

words of wisdom.  wherever you go..there you are.   deal with it.
