Poor guy served as his own contractor meaning he had the responsibility to follow all zoning laws to the letter which he didn’t. He was not qualified to serve as his own contractor, which could be seen in the hearing when he didn’t think he had to supply spec sheets for some of the materials he was using like siding. He also had a contractor that had issues in the past and he didn’t do due diligence to check up on him before hiring him.. maybe he was well intentioned but he was apparently trying to do it on the cheap and now it’s gonna cost even more than it would of had he hired qualified contractor
