We just received a notice of violation today for rotted wood on the exterior of our house. Another one, again… for the same thing.   sigh

But not all is lost.  This time we can call the city up and say “wAhT BEEOCH! We fixed our house THREE MONTHS AGO! In your FACE!? IN YOUR FAACE!”

Well, the call didn’t exactly go that way, of course.  I used more of a be-my-friend type tone.

“Hello this is Tania. Case number echo-gamma-C0-4UB33CH-5387-964335-epsilon-2-0-123-XYZ but I’m sure you have my face, address, and case number pinned on your Building & Zoning Department’s Most Wanted wall anyway.  I received a notice of violation (why else would I be calling) and realize that by this time your department probably just assumes that there is still wood rot on my house but, really, you should at least do a quick drive by every quarter to confirm that my house is still standing. Would you be so kind as to remove me from your bi-monthly ThreatsR’Us mailing list. I’m sure you will be ecstatic to learn that my humble abode is no longer an ugly and rotting humble abode, thankyouverymuch!”

Ah it feels good!

We really must be careful tho.  Soon they will start issuing violation notices to us for having a naked house. It hasn’t been painted since we had it re-stucco’d.  Shame on us.
