(TXT to Hyacinth) Vyv: Questions in one of your areas of expertise, darling. What rules and restrictions are there regarding, say, working on a large metal sculpture on property one has a right to make use of?
(TXT to Vyv) Hyacinth: Here is the county FAQ http://www.co.grays-harbor.wa.us/departments/public_services/building_division/faq_s.php
(TXT to Vyv) Hyacinth: But for anything that's going to have water it needs a safety latch on the cover like a hot tub and if it's open water it needs to be fenced in with fence on code for such and 6' away from a fence and 10" away from overhead power lines
(TXT to Vyv) Hyacinth: Also if you install a Jacuzzi I'll have to do an inspection on it which I like to call a soak test.
(TXT to Vyv) Hyacinth: It involves lending it to me. You may join.

(TXT to Vyv) Hyacinth: There's the form too but you can forward it to me and I'll yell at some appropriate people.
(TXT to Hyacinth) Vyv: I should check my lease and see what it says about hot tubs on the balconies. Although I've been thinking about possibly getting a house.
(TXT to Hyacinth) Vyv: But that's not relevant to this in particular, really. All right, I'll look at the FAQ. But if it doesn't involve water, just a bit of soldering and the like, there's no particular rule against it, yes?
(TXT to Vyv) Hyacinth: Oh! U have people for that to throw at you!
(TXT to Vyv) Hyacinth: Not that I'm aware of unless it involves interference with power lines or is within 5' of a buried gas line or has lawn gnomes.
(TXT to Hyacinth) Vyv: I'll check on the gas line, then. And if I see any lawn gnomes, I'll do what must be done.
(TXT to Vyv) Hyacinth: Keep me posted. Also heard Justin's back in town. Was going to reach out to him and do a welcome back dinner. I'll let you know when you agreed to go when I find out when it is.
(TXT to Vyv) Hyacinth: ❤️
(TXT to Hyacinth) Vyv: Is he? Oh, good. And if you check with me before I discover I've agreed I may even not change my mind.
(TXT to Hyacinth) Vyv: I do think I could arrange most nights with a bit of warning, though.
(TXT to Hyacinth) Vyv: What sort of thing reported does one require before someone's sent out to check a spot for various violations? A trailer, say.
(TXT to Vyv) Hyacinth: I think I can bring myself to manage this
(TXT to Hyacinth) Vyv: For absolutely no particular reason, of course.
(TXT to Vyv) Hyacinth: A trailer? Well being present is not a violation, but I can send you a list of ordinances for a mobile property.
(TXT to Vyv) Hyacinth: Are we condemning someone?
(TXT to Hyacinth) Vyv: Currently overkill in one sense, I suspect, but in the other, yes.
(TXT to Hyacinth) Vyv: The ordinance list would be lovely.
(TXT to Hyacinth) Vyv: And if I do get a Jacuzzi, I promise to schedule a prompt inspection. Possibly with mimosas.
(TXT to Vyv) Hyacinth: Awwww ️❤️ Nice to know you still have good taste and priorities.
(TXT to Vyv) Hyacinth: I have to go yell at some people about using ants as an excuse
(TXT to Vyv) Hyacinth: Honestly I don't give a damn how big they are or if people can ride them that's not an excuse. Put saddles on the little bastards, give them a lunch break and make then haul shit if they are going to trespass. How hard is that, right?
(TXT to Vyv) Hyacinth: Talk to you soon.
