Re: Project truck storage: City at your Throat?

Currently,
I personally am not having this issue on that level with the city yet. I move all three of my junks (trucks) around on a monthly bases to keep the city at bay. The laws are getting tougher and tighter in my area as well. I live by a hoarding junk man millionaire, so I get some of his heat about him sometimes when the city officials stop by. My issue right now is the neighbor beside me; she does not like my two halfed trailored 1968 Chevy trucks that I am building and has made comments to my Boss about it, but yet has yet to go to the city about them. Prior owner cut them up; I am just trying to make one for myself and save the other. I am like a MacGyver with junk (our trucks).
My opinion is just this, I bought this house and property and I like old trucks or anything of that nature, so if I want to have it I will, but with that being said I do not allow my yard to get trashed, example would be mounds of trash or 4 or 5 vehicles just sitting around all busted up or have the look of serious long term neglect or allow vehicles to sit for too long in one spot.
My intent here with my trucks in the near future is to purchase about 5 acres in the county, build me a 4 truck, two side by side deep building and no one will be able to be nosy or have anything to complain about. The city should be thankful I enjoy my old truck hobby and stay at home every day doing it; at least I am not out drinking and driving and doing illegal things, plus I do them a favor by buying and selling some of these things, they get moved that way. Also, I absolutely do not support and never will these so called California home owner associations either. I apologize to anyone if I have offended, all this is this man’s opinions and way I live my life. I feel you and it is too bad you can't enjoy your hobby/ideals of rebuilding an old truck. Good luck with your rebuild and enjoy our hobby; Great Thread!
