Wow...those things look nice...I think I would rather get one of these than a canoe or kayak...

Just so you know....your parents said the same crap about Kiss. Way to NOT become your parents...

lol squatters rights? That doesn't make any sense. And to your earlier post...obviously the law only applies when its in the cities favor! (I had assumed that was understood...same with insurance companies)

The Berkley package says the hook is supposed to be completely hidden in worm...thus making it weedless.

Didn't Kiss do the North Bay Canada Day Festival?

You are ignoring the facts... You shouldn't of paved your drive way without a work permit legalizing the construction. Simple enough... Do things right the first time...and then you wont have to deal with this....

I suggested working with the guy, doesn't seem like he wants to take that route. But that was obvious when they built the drive way without getting a permit for the construction. The city would of told the contractors before they even dug that this would not be legal. Seems like the company you choose may have saved you a couple of bucks up front by not getting a work permit, but now this is the headache you have to deal with. As for parking on your lawn it depends on where you are located. Its not always a by-law offense. In Fort Erie lots of people just park where ever on the lawn because they do not have any drive way...just all dirt or grass.

Looks like fun! I wish I could make a trip like that!

Fake grass isn't grass....they will check to see if the structure has been removed.

Ummmm maybe if they take a peek from the road...but since you are in the system they are going to actually look into it and force the Work Order or take you to court and sue you for the cost of them to carry out the work order. You might be better off just digging up some dirt and putting it on, a little more believable....but you are dreaming if you don't think they are going to bring a shovel to verify.

Its too hot in Africa, you either pirate on a boat or you pirate from your shelter via the internet!

Its cancer! I would like to see the pics as well!

I was hoping for something around a buck a beer, but thats a solid fish!!!

Haha.. Like I said the government wins. They own the end of my property that I pay taxes on...I have one of those L shaped drive ways...and I guess to park a car at the end of my property (base of the L 5 feet away from the shoulder of the road) it has to have plates on it. Since its technically city property the rules of the road apply to that part of my drive way. I had to push it about a car length up the straight part of my drive way...now I just park half on the lawn with my van! HAHAHAHA! They don't own that part and it has plates! I could park my van at the end of the road, but then its a long walk to the house hahaha. And it looks like you are screwed man. Any work on your property needs to have a work order created with the city to verify if you are breaking any zoning laws or encroaching on someone else's (their) property. The only reason I know lots about this work order issue, is because I'm currently dealing with a lawsuit involving the house I purchased almost 2 years ago...the city has wiped their hands clean because they throw away records older than 30 years old, my title insurance doesn't cover it because they say its a structural problem but if I had paperwork from the city stating it existed before I got here then it would be covered....But now I am suing for non-disclosure of the issue and in their defense they say there was a problem but they got it fixed...THEY TOLD US THERE WERE NO PROBLEMS AND THATS WHY WE ARE SUING!!!! lol idiots...Court is a long process! Try to do what you can to avoid it...because if you have to pay your lawyer up front its not coming back to you unless you win....

Reply to my response...because if you didn't put the drive way in and it was there when you bought the house....if you have Title Insurance you just need to make one call and their lawyers handle everything...doesn't cost you squat!

100%. They are the city and that is what they do for a living...enforce by-laws. If you work with them they will be nice... I had a car at the end of my property it was parked the right way but they said it can't be un-plated.... I argued that its my property and it doesn't matter. Then they said its actually cities property...something like 4 Meters from the center of the road, onto the front of your property isn't technically yours.... I wanted to say then why the hell am I paying property taxes for x amount of feet when I technically only own x amount... Either way... Government wins...end of story.

Did you put in the drive way after you moved? If so its your own fault for not checking your laws. If it was there before you bought the home, you didn't cut corners while purchasing the home, and your lawyer isn't a moron...you should have something called "Title Insurance" which covers cases like this. If not...prepare to take it up the butt!

I'll be going with Familyfisherman on this trip and I'm hoping to get some fish for this report. I got skunked when I went out with Rich...but that wasn't his fault. I blame myself for not being prepared for top water bass. So since we are hitting up Lake Erie for smallies I will be preparing for anything from 0-30 feet...I'm planning on bringing some tubes, live minnows, and live worms. Anyone recommend any other gear I should bring?

Damn! Rough cuts, hopefully it doesn't ruin some of the storage you like....

*Insert drum fill here*

Tell me about it.. And the last OPP boat I saw when I was in Parry Sound was a SICK boat.. Every citizen of Ontario should be allowed to take a ride on it at full speed...since we are paying for it! hahaha.

Good thing the fuzz didn't ruin your good time

Nice fish Cudz! If I didn't have the little one I'd talk my wife into stopping at Lake Simcoe on the way to the cottage next month haha! Looks like some good fishing!

Me and my wife have been slaying some 17 Lbs bass in Super Nintendo's "Super Black Bass Fishing"...one of my all time favorite games. I figured since we enjoyed that so much I may as well pick something up for the Wii. But now that I see this new BPS game coming out in September I'll just wait for that... With the rod action looks like I'm one step closer to getting my wife to come out with me hahahaha! Soon...soon.

Man I'm at work and I can't hear the videos...but it looks like theres lots of Illuminati / Michale Jackson conspiracies...lol I love that crap!
