Code Enforcement busting my chops about my tanks in garage!

[jasonrodreef]

I love pits they are great loving dogs with "responsible" people. But this one pit was not that kind big bad white and ruff looking he came after me in my yard. I have had lots of dogs for hunting 20-30 over the years and one pit this dog was bad news. I have a 2yr daughter and 4yr son Needless to say if they where in back yard that day that dog would be M.I.A. One day i saw the lawn guys all standing on the mowers and on the truck because this dog was on them big time. Another weekend i look out the window and see two people chasing this dog around,,,he had someones cat in his mouth. NOT pretty
Not sure if they took him from owner but i am guessing yes..Been long long time since ive seen him.

Sorry bout that..No one is hurting any dogs or going too..Code enforcement can go over and ask them if they are selling dogs. Thats it..
Ive worked too hard on my setup..the art on water container took 3 days. 20 8ft sticks of 1 1/2 PVC, 5 2'' PVC 3 of 3'' PVC 4 Bottles of glue and aloooot of long nights. I literally have ZERO left over PVC parts it all went together bit by bit. My 150 rimless i have had the glass over 2 years same with the 8ft tank. I painted garage and have gone the exxxxxtra mile to make the garage look nice. Its not a fish barn with clutter every where."Was in picture" "not finished yet. You cant even see any plumbing its all ran behind washer dryer and tucked away nice. I even glued the PVC so the pipe is white all lettering is not visible also the 90* and 45* I picked without bar codes. Custom 16 bulb T-5, 3 350 kessils, 2 150 kessil 20k, 1 150 kessil 14k, Giesemenn 400wx3 4x54 T-5, Aquamedic 250x2 150x1, Acan stunner. Working on custom skimmer and reactors and it all adds uP$.
Tanks ware wrapped and it looks classy again not for neighbors but for me. I love clean set up I know anyone else would be a tad upset if you got the knock.
Will start a build thread soon..

Big government bad! And to think you are actually paying that code enforcement's salary. Look forward to seeing all those tanks full!

Sounds to me like someone in the local government notice your wattage and water/sewage usage and decided they wanted a peak around to see if everything was on the up and up..Happens a lot around here...the city comes up with a joke of a reason to poke around to get a better idea of what is going on and if warrants are necessary...Cops can't just roll up to your door and barge in without probable cause and warrants..so what better way then to file a false complaint and send a nice little code enforcement officer out to get a deeper look before going all "swat" on you...

The "there are no bad dogs, just bad owners" argument kills me, they are still wild animals deep down. and can be very powerful. you can't "train" inferior genes that arise with inbreeding, which is very popular with these dogs. most are nice, some aren't. the ones that arent can seriously injure people. just like any big aggressive animal. but anyways, let bygones be bygones. just do your thing, reacting to the situation can make it worse. hope they stay outcha bidness.

Yeah don't sweat it, seriously sounds like they thought you were growing. Had to come check with a fake complaint.

Started the build thread over on the large aquarium side..So if any of you want to see how and what i built in garage.
I do not want to talk about the dog thing. This is not about dogs sure we had a problem with one but i did not call code or animal control i walk over to that house. Owner was gone and i left a clear note about the problem. I recently lost my dog really old epileptic chihuahua who was hit by a car. I did not know he did till the guy who hit him told me days later after he saw my signs. But i had been going to the local pound looking for him and yikes 9 of 10 are pits. All of them where so sweet I HATE SEEING THEM at pound and so many of them. Thought about bringing one home but have 2 other dogs 2 kids and too much going on.. I will be back to adopt one just not right now..I really hope the ones i took pictures of got adopted I posted all there pictures on my facebook so maybe a friend or someone might go check them out..Good dogs bad owners hopefully they find goood families to adopt them.

Will see what happens this week with code enforcement. Not worried but like to share so if anyone else ever has this problem.
