So, earlier this month, had a large tree removed from my front yard (no permit needed). But we had it removed, since the roots where getting close to our house foundation (concrete slab). So had a contractor out today to address the masonry wall damage. (A 5 foot by 8 foot section).
And now we need another permit. It will take at least three inspections to get the project finished, and the city will charge $225 foe the permit.
Alas, the original wall (fence) was built in the mid 1960's, and there were no codes for the work.
So now 1% of my fence will be up to code...
