Unreasonable town ordinance

[Gardner Yeaw]

Mike,
I'd love to build a bird house, but not enough property. The side,
front and rear yard restrictions won't allow it. I really have no
reasonable recourse, I knew there was some sort of ordinance, but no
one bothered me last year. I usually left it at home for 4 or 5 days
at a streach while I worked on it, and then took it to the storage
facility where I normally keep it. It is a 20 or so mile ride over
one lane back roads through a bunch of construction, so it isn't a
fun ride.

I am looking for a closer facility which will run the cost up from
$68/month to $100-125, but I will save on fuel, so maybe it will be a
wash. The problem may be that many facilities, like campgrounds,
don't allow you to do mechanical work on site.

Gardner,
78FC33
