The whole point of the thing is that if they promise you something when you hire in, they should keep their promise, and if they can't with new hires, they should grandfather in the one's they hired under the original agreement.

let’s see a picture of the parking lot.

It fans out but here are a couple… on a typical non holiday Monday it would be full. It was last paved 10 years ago and then I had it paved 20 before that.

Got the seal and stripe approved for this summer and I believe in large part because it will look “Pretty

”

Nothing like the smell of hot tar in the summer...

I agree and would be good… the on boarding was a written offer of employment and negotiated but really isn’t binding simply because positions can be easily eliminated… unless tied to union collective bargaining.

The parking lot fencing would be an easier presentation to make to corporate if there were a horde of zombies in the parking lot picture.

Easy to do if I take night vision with transients camping…

I don't know if Oakland PD has on line incident reports available like Nashville PD does. If they do, those along with your private security reports would help support your case for security fencing if that is something worth pursing.

I HATE when people paint wood and bricks. Breaks my heart, there is essentially no going back from that. Putting the finishing touches on an addition/remodel of our house. Our mud room is done in a pickwick knotty pine tongue and groove with a darkish finish. We LOVE it but so many people tried to get me to rip it out or paint over it. We left what we could of it, had to add drywall to one of the walls which is nice because it lightened the mood of the room.
We will be installing ash base and door/window trim. Solid wood oak and black walnut floating shelves. Pine tongue and groove ceilings and board and batten on the screen porch. So much of the stuff that goes into houses today is absolute CRAP. I am hoping to limit that in my house. I plan on going back and building vanities to replace the chinese junk we had to install to get through our inspections.

Noticed yesterday that one of the real estate ad sites showed permit history in addition to past sale history for residential property. So much resin is used to glue wood particles in building materials together now. Barely qualifies as wood.
