What's up fellow Floridian?

Very cool stuff bro. If I ever get up your way to surf "the poles", I'll have to check you out.

Hope the neighbor problem has leveled out. I had a problem with one of my old neighbors, basically because I was putting an old car together in my carport, and he did the same thing to me. The cops came out at 3pm on a Sunday to say the neighbor was complaining about noise, but essentially they couldn't do anything because LEGALLY quiet hours are from like 10pm to 7am. The cops even told me that I could make a reasonable amount of noise, and that hand tools were reasonable.

Then he called code enforcement and told them I had "a junkyard at my house" (which consisted of a completely running and restored 1965 Riviera, and a primer black 1948 Ford pickup that didn't run, but was complete). They came out and told me to put the truck out back & everything was cool.

So next time I saw my neighbor he gave me the stink eye and I pretty much told him to suck it.

He moved within 6 months, and all my current neighbors are cool (a few free tikis helped).
