What ons has to do is find creative ways to get around these idiots. When I was living in the D.C. area the code enforcer came around an cited me because the paint was peeling on my garage which I used as a workshop. I was procrastenating on what color I wanted to paint it and I guess I didn't act fast enought for him so he cited me. So to piss him off I went out an got the colors that were on the Garage and as the citation said I had to place a potective covering on my garage, os I put a protective covering on the garage (one coat). Well when he came back 30 days latter he told me that I had to put more than one coat of paint on the garage. I pulled out the citation and showed him were he noted a protective coat and that I followed the citation to the letter. He walked away shaking his head. That fall I finished the paint job on the garage.
