WORKING ON THE "DOWN-LOW" - "should I get a permit for that?"

No on really wants to get permits for work they are doing on their home. Frankly, many steps of the process can be intimidating:

• filling out the paperwork

• drawing up presentable and understandable plans

• navigating the permit office

• actually doing the work up to code

• scheduling the inspector to come to you house

• having the inspector nit-pick everything you've done
