[quote=UCGal][quote=briansd1]I doubt that many homeowners ask for legal work documents prior to “hiring” a contractor.[/quote]
That’s why we went through the maze of obstruction when we got our permit… Friends advised it would be easier to ask for forgiveness than permission… but we didn’t want to risk it.[/quote]

I didn’t think anyone in their right mind would build an entire granny flat of any quality without permits? Anyway, I would never build something w/o permits that I was not willing to tear down.
Getting “forgiveness” is not cheap and as you know is subject to complete failure.
