sherrif left a calling card troday!

any way falce alarm, the subpoena was to testify at the trial of a local politician who missapropiated (stole) funds from the local fine arts org who I fix kilns for now and then no charge. aparently some one said they payed for a kiln rebuild I did free.

WHEW. It just strikes me wrong that I should stress over trying to make an honest living, and applying good comon sence and respect for others in the area while doing it.

The above statement speaks volumes about your character. If more people got involved with local organizations like you have, the world would be a better place. You're a good man Olddude and I'm glad to hear things worked out for you.

If you store it out of sight in a garage or outbuilding or storage unit it would be better. Processing/storing escrap at a residence in gonna throw up red flags.

why is a privacy fence called a privacy fence ?

If we scrap out of our homes in residential areas, it is not unreasonable for us to keep our treasures out of sight. I pull my stuff out onto the driveway while working on it and put it back in the garage when I am done. A neighbor complaining isn't always a sign of them being a busybody. It may be a sign that we are slobs.

Minding you own business is a wonderful concept but if your neighbor builds an eyesore of some sort you certainly have the right to object. To take an extreme example; I do not want an oil well drilled in my neighbor's back yard. I wouldn't want a stamping plant next door either. So a scrapper's stash may not pass as lawn art to those in the neighborhood.

app1arently you didnt read all the posts.

1. im in the woods. (rural)

2. 300 ft of privacy fence

4. if you want drugs just go to the street in front of my house and yell real loud what you want how much and what you are willing to pay. Stand back with in 3 minuits there will be at least 5 dealers with any thing you want clinbing over each other to handle it.
