Interesting story out of England.

No one complained about living next to a huge pile of hay and blue tarps for 4 years, but now they are complaining that they live next to an (in my opinion as a fan of all architectural designs) awesome castle type structure??

What is wrong with some people?

I applaud the homeowners for thinking outside the box... (or... inside the hay bail box shape so to speak)


This reminds me of someone we all know named Dean who had to abide by local zoning laws when putting in a Heliport on top of DEKA (or was it Segway? I'm not sure).

The law was to put a fence up around the area at a given height (I don't recall exactly what that was so let's say it was 6' for argument's sake)

Basically what he did, and I believe "got away with" by thinking outside the box, was by buying a 6' tall fence and laying it down on the ground around the heliport so as not to look like a fence and look like an ugly obstuction to a nice view. lol

All that was documented in the book Code Name Ginger if anyone is interested.
Cool beans!
