Construction and local governments

If you are contemplating building, remodeling, improving a home or any kind of construction, expect more and more demands from your local government in terms of demanding regulations and following the arduous procedures imposed upon you by bureaucrats that are multiplying in numbers but alas not in expertise.

For the past five years, I've been involved with several projects and have experienced how bad the situation can be and how costly it ends up being.

Building is no longer a pleasant or an affordable adventure. It's more like the road to hell paved with seemingly good intentions but in reality peppered with booby traps and too many bandits on the lookout to shaking you up.

So much for my “constructive” tone!
