Re: Dam somebody post something
Hey I hit the lotto for a whole 8.50, now I can buy that case of cokes I had my eye on 
I guess it could always be worst, I met a buddy last night who works for FEMA now and he was telling me stories of Texas, showing me pictures of ships you had to drive around on the road.
Said there was no food and he lost weight eating MRE's, but he had cold beer so he made it through, he said he might go to PR next.
But I did run into one lady who needed a leak stopped at her house, so I told her to call me and I check it out, but I think it's like most of the houses mexican built in the last 10 years, the stucco is to thin and the rain will go right through it after a few days heavy rain and they paint them with the cheapest paint and never seal it, anything for the fast buck and the hell with the people who bought it.
In the 70's you got a well build house, but the builder would still do it cheap as possible, but the inspectors wouldn't let them build the crap houses they do now, so the only thing they could is get cheap on the paint and you had to paint the house 6 months after buying it on every house in town.
I don't know why little money makes someone resort to cheating people to get a bunch more, all the builders here go out of business every few years and come back with a new name, to cheat more people.
What ever happened to doing a honest day work for an honest days pay, an honest guy doesn't stand a chance, you give someone a good price and they look for a better price, give the job to ever said they could do it cheaper and then end up charging them more than your price for inferior work.
I still have a few people who refer me to people who tired of being ripped off and I tell them to call me and what I don't do I get someone who will do a good job for you at a good price.
But what really pisses me off is that Homo Depot after putting all the small guys selling lumber and stuff out of business is now wanting to put me and the rest of us out of a job unless we work for them at sub standard rate, most the people they have working for them are doing bad work, but don't worry homo depot will keep sending people out till your pissed and tell them to go , but the big money keeps people giving their work to them at least once.
There as bad as Disney who do every thing to kill every business tourists go to off their property, by building the same thing so they can get you on the property and you won't leave till your broke, again it's nothing but I got to have it all not what's good for the community, they killed the high speed train to go from the airport to attractions because they wanted it to only go to their gay world, bypass Sea World and the rest of the sites people might want to spend some money at to keep it all.
Now if you fly into Orlando to go to Disney they pick you up in a bus and take you to their property the back way so you don't see a thing Orlando offers, it really a shame their Mother's didn't teach them to share growing up.

Re: Dam somebody post something
I read this post awhile ago...I thought it was a request to post info on a DAM......I didn't even realize it was about DAMN......
Bill
I did some research on DAMs and found this:
Dam Notice
This is an actual letter sent to a man named Ryan DeVries regarding a pond on his property. It was sent by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Quality, State of Pennsylvania . This guy's response is hilarious, but read the State's letter before you get to the response letter.
SUBJECT: DEQ File No.97-59-0023; T11N; R10W, Sec. 20; Lycoming County
Dear Mr. DeVries:
It has come to the attention of the Department of Environmental Quality that there has been recent unauthorized activity on the above referenced parcel of property. You have been certified as the legal landowner and/or contractor who did the following unauthorized activity: Construction and maintenance of two wood debris dams across the outlet stream of Spring Pond.
A permit must be issued prior to the start of this type of activity. A review of the Department's files shows that no permits have been issued. Therefore, the Department has determined that this activity is in violation of Part 301, Inland Lakes and Streams, of the Natural Resource and Environmental Protection Act, Act 451 of the Public Acts of 1994, being sections 324.30101 to 324.30113 of the Pennsylvania Compiled Laws, annotated.
The Department has been informed that one or both of the dams partially failed during a recent rain event, causing debris and flooding at downstream locations.
We find that dams of this nature are inherently hazardous and cannot be permitted.
The Department therefore orders you to cease and desist all activities at this location, and to restore the stream to a free-flow condition by removing all wood and brush forming the dams from the stream channel. All restoration work shall be completed no later than January 31, 2008.
Please notify this office when the restoration has been completed so that a follow-up site inspection may be scheduled by our staff. Failure to comply with this request or any further unauthorized activity on the site may result in this case being referred for elevated enforcement action.. We anticipate and would appreciate your full cooperation in this matter. Please feel free to contact me at this office if
you have any questions.
Sincerely,
David L. Price
District Representative and Water Management Division.
Here is the actual response sent back by Mr. DeVries:
Re: DEQ File No. 97-59-0023; T11N; R10W, Sec. 20; Lycoming County
Dear Mr. Price,
Your certified letter dated 11/25/07 has been handed to me to respond to.
I am the legal landowner but not the Contractor at 2088 Dagget Lane , Trout Run, Pennsylvania .
A couple of beavers are in the (State unauthorized) process of constructing and maintaining two wood 'debris' dams across the outlet stream of my Spring Pond. While I did not pay for, authorize, nor supervise their dam project, I think they would be highly offended that you call their skillful use of natures building materials 'debris.'
I would like to challenge your department to attempt to emulate their dam project any time and/or any place you choose. I believe I can safely state there is no way you could ever match their dam skills, their dam resourcefulness, their dam ingenuity, their dam persistence, their dam determination and/or their dam work ethic.
These are the beavers/contractors you are seeking. As to your request, I do not think the beavers are aware that they must first fill out a dam permit prior to the start of this type of dam activity.
My first dam question to you is:
(1) Are you trying to discriminate against my Spring Pond Beavers, or
(2) do you require all beavers throughout this State to conform to said dam request?
If you are not discriminating against these particular beavers, through the Freedom of Inform
ation Act, I request completed copies of all those other applicable beaver dam permits that have been issued.
(Perhaps we will see if there really is a dam violation of Part 301, Inland Lakes and Streams, of the Natural Resource and Environmental
Protection Act, Act 451 of the Public Acts of 1994, being sections 324.30101 to 324.30113 of the Pennsylvania Compiled Laws, annotated.)
I have several concerns. My first concern is, aren't the beavers entitled to legal representation? The Spring Pond Beavers are financially destitute and are unable to pay for said representation -- so the State will have to provide them with a dam lawyer. The Department's dam concern that either one or both of the dams failed during a recent rain event, causing flooding, is proof that this is a natural occurrence, which the Department is required to protect. In other words, we should leave the Spring Pond Beavers alone rather than harassing them and calling them dam names.
If you want the stream 'restored' to a dam free-flow condition please contact the beavers -- but if you are going to arrest them, they obviously did not pay any attention to your dam letter, they being unable to read English.
In my humble opinion, the Spring Pond Beavers have a right to build their unauthorized dams as long as the sky is blue, the grass is green and water flows downstream. They have more dam rights than I do to live and enjoy Spring Pond. If the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Protection lives up to its name, it should protect the natural resources (Beavers) and the environment (Beavers' Dams).
So, as far as the beavers and I are concerned, this dam case can be referred for more elevated enforcement action right now. Why wait until 1/31/2008? The Spring Pond Beavers may be under the dam ice then and there will be no way for you or your dam staff to contact/harass them.
In conclusion, I would like to bring to your attention to a
real environmental quality, health, problem in the area. It is the bears! Bears are actually defecating in our woods. I definitely believe you should be persecuting the defecating bears and leave the beavers alone. If you are going to investigate the beaver dam, watch your step! The bears are not careful where they dump!
Being unable to comply with your dam request, and being unable to contact you on your dam answering machine, I am sending this response to your dam office.
THANK YOU,
RYAN DEVRIES
