The building official is SUPPOSED to be an engineering type! Supposed to be are the keywords I think, Phil. We always hope the officials have their jobs through competence. I think it's also important to get along with the neighbors, so I would want to convince them of likely safety too. In our case, our one set of neighbors would probably understand, but the others might be a hard sell. All very nice folks, but the one couple has a technical background. We live in an age where a lot of people get their physics education from Bugs Bunny and Road Runner cartoons. It takes a lot to educate them in how things actually work - especially when their misconceptions are so much more entertaining! ;^) - 73 de Mike KB3EIA - |
