I just avoid talking politics with friends that I know have different views. It’s like religion. I respect their right to their beliefs, and while I sometimes question whether they equally respect mine, its not worth the stress of argument.
Even at work, in a fairly politically-charged environment, everyone knows that spouting one’s personal views or challenging someone else’s will create problems down the road. Taking partisan sides is career suicide for a bureaucrat like me.

jennyoParticipantYou would also want to be careful if with non-permitted if you plan to make other changes to the house. When we bought our first house we were getting an HVAC installed (it didn’t have one at the time) and the city inspector would not sign off on the HVAC system until we agreed to tear down an existing grape arbor/patio cover that was not permitted. That is probably an extreme example (the guy was a real a$$) but if you plan to do any future work legitimately, the city or county inspectors could potentially take issue with the unpermitted things.

If we didn’t do that, we wouldn’t be getting a rebate check at all.
