GOLDIE..... I DON'T KNOW WHY TEH CONSUMER PROTECTION OFFICE CALLED HERE- AND LEFT A MESSAGE FOR ME TO CALL BACK....- I RETURNED THE CALL- AND WE COULD NOT FIGURE OUT WHY I HAD THAT NOTE ON MY DESK.. IN THE PROCESS I MENTIONED I WISH I HAD CALLED THEM ABOUT MY PROBLEMS WITH THE BUILDING INSPECTORS AND THE DOG HOUSE... AND WENT OVER THE DETAILS WITH THAT PERSON. IT WAS NOT SOMETHING THEY COULD ADDRESS BUT SHE HEAVILY SUGGESTED I CONTACT THE ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE... SHE WAS NOT SURE THAT WOULD HELP EITHER BUT MAYBE AS A CHARITY WE WOULD HAVE SOME CASE...
I WOULD HAVE SOME HOMEWORK TO DO TO DIG OUT ALL TEH BILLS. I FEEL TERRIBLE THAT OUR CHARITY MONEY HAS TO GO TO TEH DECISIONS MADE BY THE BUILDING INSPECTORS A...B... and ...C
BRIEFLY....
#1. FIRST PROBLEM WAS TO REBUILD A COLLAPSED INDOOR ARENA DUE TO BLIZZARD.
#2. I NEEDED A DOG HOUSE WITH ALL WASHABLE / CHLOROX'D WALLS/FLOORS TO BE ABLE TO ISOLATE ANY DOG OR TWO WITH A RUNNY NOSE .. I DREW UP A 20 X 30 CONCRETE BLOCK DOG HOUSE WITH STORAGE ROOM ON GRAPH PAPER .
***THE FIRST RUN IN ...WITH "A" "WHY ARE YOU NOT USING OUR LOCAL CONTRACTOR TO REBUILD THE ARENA.? YOU ARE OUT OF YOUR LEAGUE, YOU ARE ONLY A WOMAN". --- SO WHEN I DID NOT USE HIS CONTRACTOR, I WAS ORDERED... " BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING GET SOIL COMPACTION STUDY DONE BY XXXX APPROVED ENGINEER" - AT A COST OF $27,000 FOR A "BALLOON BUILDING" WHICH WOULD FLY UP BEFORE IT COMPACTED ANYTHING. "A" IS GONE...?RETIRED?
***SECOND BASIC PROBLEM--- INSPECTOR "B" -- THE "B" INSPECTOR REFUSED TO GIVE US A PERMIT FOR THE DOG HOUSE- AND IN THE PROCESS MIS- INFORMED THE NEIGHBORS THAT I WAS BUILDING A VETERNARY HOSPITAL AND WOULD INCREASE THE TRAFFIC AND NUMBER OF DOGS" SO THEY GOT ALL UPSET AND BEGAN TO COMPLAIN ABOUT DOGS BARKING...---- AFTER MOVING IN NEXT TO CRAZY ACRES 13 YEARS AGO, , WE HAD NO COMPLAINTS FROM PARTRIDGEBERRY DEVELOPEMENT NEXT DOOR...NOW, .WITH HIS NOTICES, THEY STILL ARE STILL ALL FIRED UP . THEIR ZONING COMPLAINT WAS OVERTURNED-- $8000 LATER.
."B" WAS ESCORTED OUT OF THE TOWN HALL-- GONE"
***THE LATEST "C" BECAUSE THE BUILDING GOT LABELED A COMMERCIAL BUILDING, THIS DOG HOUSE HAS TO BE IN COMPLIANCE WITH COMMERCIAL BUILDING CODES---- THE LATEST BEING .. INSTEAD OF A $500 PLUMBING BILL FOR A FLOOR DRAIN SO WE COULD WASH THE FLOORS, HE INSTRUCTED THE PLUMBER TO INSTALL A $19,000 FLOOR DRAIN SYSTEM OF P TRAPS AND FRESH WATER PIPED INTO THE DRAINS TO AUTOMATICALLY FLUSH THE P TRAPS. WHEN I TRIED TO ASK WHY IT WAS LABELED A COMMERCIAL BUILDING I WAS TOLD " BECAUSE I SAID SO - IT IS NOT A HOUSE." THIS ARROGANT "PUBLIC SERVANT" WHICH GETS PAID WITH MY TAXES IS BEING A BULLY AND WRECKING OUR CHARITY FINANCES- WHAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN A $20,000 DOG HOUSE IS NOW APPROACHING $60,000 BECAUSE HE HAS DECIDED IT IS A COMMERCIAL BUILDING..
THIS IS A FARM.. IT IS A DOG HOUSE
**********
DARN ... I FORGOT I WAS WRITING THE DD AND WAS ACTUALLY GETTING MY THOUGHTS TOGETEHR TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE ATTNY GENENRAL OFFICE.
I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO DEAL WITH THIS BULLY JUST SO I CAN GET ON WITH OUR PROJECT.... HOWEVER.... WITH ALL THIS POLITICAL BUSINESS OF WOMEN SPEAKING UP , I AM NOW THINKING IT MAY BE MY RESPONSIBILITY TO QUESTION WHY ALL THESE PEOPLE WHO COME TO INSPECT US ARE ALL DRIVING BRAND NEW TRUCKS. IF NOT ME... THEN WHO.?
SOMEONE INVOLVED IN THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF BOSTON FINANCES TOLD ME --- GENERAL OPINION --" DON'T TRY AND DO ANYTHING IN IPSWICH--- IT IS TOO TIED UP."
IT IS GOING TO TAKE SOME TIME AND EFFORT... AND I WILL NEED HELP DRIVING AND GETTING IN THAT BUILDING...I HAVE BEEN THERE BEFORE-- AND THEY WERE MOST HELPFUL.... AND LOVED TEH DOG I HAD WITH ME..."THUMPER"
WHERE IS THAT REPORTER FROM CHANNEL 5 THAT HAS WORKED WITH US BEFORE??? I HAVE HER EMAIL-- ALONG WITH 400 OTHER EMAIL ADDRESSES FILED BY NAME... WHICH I FORGOT...
******
LAST NIGHT AT TEH CHURCH-- JUDY ANBD I DID WELL... THEY ALL LAUGHED AT THE APPROPRIAGTE MOMENTS AND ASKED LOTS OF QUESTIONS -- WHICH IS USUALLY AN INDICATION OF HOW WELL THE LIKED THE TALK.

I DON'T THINK WE HAVE A SCHEDULE OF ANYTHING TODAY--
