Building is about solving problems.
In this case, both the homeowner as well as the city had problems, and as is typical, the problems were on the same coin, but they were very different problems.
The homeowner's problem was that the city zoning did not allow a large enough footprint to accommodate the shed the homeowner desired.
The city's problem was that their zoning rules did not address the height of said shed.
The homeowner solved his problem.
The city's will likely be resolved after removing yards of red-tape, re-writing zoning rules, and then taping them back up again securely.

Any day is a good day to buy a load of boulders.

Shapeshifters are real, as evidenced by our experience over here at the office today. Lorraine is at the accounting computer, alone in the building, when she hears what sounds like furniture being moved around in the shop. Being a confrontational type of human, she opens the man door, and BAM! Whoever, or whatever, was moving sawhorses, workbenches, and rowboats around zapped itself into the body of a small rodent. (See photo evidence attached.)

Said small rodent commences to chirping shrilly and swinging from tool hooks.

Lorraine opens the overhead door, hoping to chase him out...Incoming! Enters Second in Command Security Team, Tux, the barn rescue kitten, cautiously slinking, shifting his eyes from left to right.

Mission Rodent Removal initiates...but what's this? Ah, a newly filled food tank...much more interesting than a chipmunk...

--now the rodent is hiding under a workbench, and Lorraine goes back into the office, doing her best to focus on the bookkeeping--

And now it sounds as if there is a troupe of monkeys swinging from the cabinet handles next door in the shop.

Ear protection may be necessary to keep the books clean today.

This philosophy applies to all industries. (Also resonated with Steve's wife, whose father owned a diesel mechanic shop when she was a kid.)

What the engineer is for...

Steve's youngest son is entering junior year of architectural engineering. That's AE, not AI.

For the time being, his future career seems to be safe.
