I Love the Government

So, I'm at home, minding my own business when I get a letter from the City of Salem. It seems that someone is posting flyers printed from my blog around town. Well guess what, that's illegal & I could be fined $200.00 per flyer! (I wonder how many of those concerts and garage sales get that letter.) In any event, I'm requesting that you (you know who you are, I don't) refrain from posting any more flyers from my blog ON CITY PROPERTY.
On the other hand, if you have access to a bulletin board at work, church, a coffee shop, etc, (you get the idea) & you get permission, by all means, post away.
Thanks for your help & your support!

My Bad House

I've been thinking about & dealing with this for several years now. I know I'm not the only person in this position so let's talk.

Did your dream house turn into a nightmare?
Did you pay a contractor to build a house based on one set of plans but he built something else?
Did the county inspectors approve your house then change their minds?
Did the shingles blow off of your brand new house with the first wind of the season?
Are you afraid to drive into your brand new garage because it looks like the floor will cave in?

Did the electric meter fall off of your house because it wasn't installed correctly?
Are you tired of builders doing a bad job & making off with your money?

I've endured all of this & more! You tell me your story & I'll tell you mine. Actually, I'm telling mine even if you don't. Pictures to follow.
