[TheForge] Small shop questions

[Gladish Family]

Andy, I don't know if it's the environmentalists as much as the
property-values types.
Mostly in my neighborhood (very scenic, too) you can't do stuff cause it
might knock a few bucks off the price of the place down the road, which was
likely a shack when it was built but is now worth a bazillion bux.
Then of course there are the people who build a half-million dollar
"environmentally friendly" house and then complain about the unobtrusive
little shack with the dug well and the outhouse next door, but enough of
that, it goes on and on...
