[quote]Tom Treesh welcomes visitors to his creation like a proud papa.
Maybe it was fond memories of hundreds of hours spent sailing the Chesapeake Bay that made him do it. Or maybe it was insanity, Treesh jokes.
For 20 years, he’s been transforming his family’s former Chic’s Beach summer home into a boat. There are portholes, refurbished fish-fighting chairs, masts, decking and propellers. Most impressive, the bow of a yacht Treesh salvaged from a Norfolk shipyard sits atop what was once a carport. Underneath is his “man cave.”
Standing on the stern of that yacht, which serves as a porch, Treesh extended a skinny arm. “Welcome to Chic’s Beach Marina,” he said.
Then his voice took a somber tone. “At least for a little while longer,” he said.
The city has started to crack down on Treesh after years of what senior zoning inspector Kevin Herschberger called a “flowing problem.” In April, Treesh was issued a court summons. In an April 22 letter, the city said it had received numerous complaints about construction on his property and that he hasn’t obtained required permits.[/quote]
snip, despite almost everyone already seeing this post
If it could float I would just ship off when they came to take it.
I've always wanted a little boat house.
I live in Virginia I should go help him plug the holes and let him sail away in it
What a bunch of dicks.
Flow problem? As in, it doesn't look exactly like every other fucking house in the neighborhood so were going to destroy it?
Stuff like this always seems to come down to proper permits.

There's no action small or insignificant enough for the government to stay out of it.

i am surprised there hasn't been a "why is it relevant that he's from your city????" post
aka "stop putting information into a thread designed to deliver information"
Building permits these days are just extra ways for a government to make money.

and of course some people don't even have to worry about them ever because of how powerful they are.

They're just jealous they can't have this.

I would hate to imagine what some neighbourhoods would like without building permits though.
It belongs in Bikini Bottom

And that's why I stopped, I'm mad because my threads STILL get shit on it anyone notices its Michigan news
Man when I read the info in the OP and saw Chesapeake Bay I thought this would be in Maryland as MD's government has had no problem in the pass fucking over people (property rights are shit) but for Virginia this really surprises me. Seems like most beach towns are shitty and are more concerned about tourist than residents.
Poor dude :c

It's mostly because that you noticed that you were getting popular because of it and drove it into the ground.
you really shouldn't need a permit to make things on your own property
nobody would like it if i posted news from my town all the time
mainly because fresno is an awful awful place
kill me

The government intervenes into way too many matters that doesn't concern them. This guy isn't hurting anybody, so why should they care at all?
