Oh and I mispoke about being the highest in the state. IGH is 2nd behind Minnetonka who charges $365 for a permit! What a joke

I think I'd file that under sucker charge.

Thats why local elections are so important most ignore them, They have a lot of direct power over you.

As I understand it, permits are only required for any new plumbing work is done. If you're just installing a new dishwasher to existing plumbing you don't need a permit.

That makes a lot of sense. Sounds like my old home town is getting a bit uppity. I knew it before it had "Heights" added to the name.

ot, permits are only required if you get caught :smile:

seriously though, i've never heard of a permit being a requirement for replacing an existing dishwasher. technically they're required for a water heater replacement because of the gas line involvement, but no one ever does.

from the igh web site http://www.ci.inver-grove-heights.mn.us/DocumentView.aspx?DID=909, it would appear that the plumbing permit is indeed only required for new work, and not existing work.

Move on over to South St. Paul. The position of Code Enforcement Officer was eliminated effective 1/1/11. The city is going to rely on residents reporting possible code violations. :sillygrin:

yeah like that's gonna happen.

and besides, who's going to investigate the reports if there's no enforcement? :smile:

That's the point. No one will report, so no need to investigate. :smile:

Not sure what thread to post this in... maybe someone can clarify.

Two weeks ago my membership expired (I have since renewed) but while it was expired I still had access to read all the threads. I just couldn't post. Is this right? If that is the case then anyone who doesn't pay can still read our posts? I would think if we are worried about lurkers during the hunt, that we should at least lock the hunt thread for only those who pay to be here. Otherwise we are not really paying for privacy if anyone can view and re-post what we say on the crazy boards.

This issue has been brought to Tim & Mark and they have been working on a solution. They originally made it this way so people could see but not post so they would want to pay to post to join in the conversation. But it works against our situation since we don't want anyone to see anything. I'll ask again on where they are with this as I know they're going to be busy modifying things to get all the World Crossing members over here now that their shutting their doors over there.

You can allow access only to those you know and want to see the forums.

That would mean adding a lot of people to the access list separately.

Good Evening. This has been quite the week - but it's been longer than that.

My mom, who was feeling better ended up in the ER yesterday. By 9:30 we had her back home and she is to see her own physician tomorrow.

My father-in-law who was doing better and in a care center for some therapy is again in the hospital with fluid on both lungs again.

Work is crazy. A major system went down yesterday and some things are practically at a stand still. Everyone is complaining to me because this makes everything on the network super slow. I know they are working to get things back up and running, and are doing the best they can. So deal with it. Chill out and be happy you can get some work done. The network is slow. It's going to be slow until this one part is fixed. Nothing I can do about it.

One of the people that I supervise got caught in the middle of one woman going off, unprovoked, at another first thing this morning. I heard about it from three different people before I heard it from her today. If I was that other woman's supervisor, she would have been long ago. She is a total nutcase.

Today I got a replacement debit card from our bank that I'm supposed to activate with my pin number.....except I don't have one of those and I've never had a debit card so why am I getting a replacement?

Tomorrow is Finally Friday. I hope all the craziness ends with the weekend. Of course if it all ended at 8am tomorrow, I'd be mighty happy.

My mom will be okay from what we know now. Please keep my father-in-law in your prayers.

Thanks CM. I'm so grateful that Inks' brother lives out there. I don't know what we would do if we had to take care of parents that live 120 miles apart when it all piles up like this.

I'm still allowed in there so how good could he have done it? :sheepish: :wink:

There are over a hundred CC members with many others paying to lurk who don't choose to say who they are. If we decide to do that we should really put the CC Welcome thread back 'outside' where they can find us once again.

I'm sure it would only take a day of data entry and then update as needed although we won't know when accounts expire.

It would be better if it were done automatically with those with expired memberships simply not being able to access the main folder.

I agree about the Welcome Home folder being outside the main CC folder.

I thought you could only see/lurk IF you were a previous PAID member that expired.

Can a person just sign up, not pay and still lurk? That was never a paying customer before?

No, you have to had paid at some time in the past in order to view
Thu, 02/17/2011 - 8:25 PM Permalink

No can only lurk if you ever paid.

But that allows anyone to lurk for the same $10 for years and years.

Is this what we want here? They are discussing changing forum rules and options, so I posted what I thought we wanted here. Post any input if you want something different or if you want to elaborate.



(By the way, we should have a place to discuss the forum inside our threads some where beside STB thread) Maybe another folder with discussions about the forum and the code of conduct discussion in the same folder?

actually with the new rules and free hosting of folders anyone could host a hunt folder during the hunt for free. If no posts in 30 days it gets deleted.
