The path of least resistance considering your experience is more ideal than the alternative.

There are those flights that end in flames and debris but the actual percentage is very small.

Whatever fire got you lit up for REI, "Keep that Flame!"

In general, its a very conservative mindset (conservative relating to resistance to change as opposed to politically speaking)As far as regulations go, I'm not surprised at all that you can't FSBO more than 5 homes per year, WI has also been known for many years as a state that LOVES to regulate everything!!

You're going to find resistance on these if you don't have a personal income.

Fire has told me before if doing a pit it needs to be way out from the building or patio because of wind movement can carry a flame and attach to the fence or building.Hope it helps some.

I can't imagine meeting any resistance to rezoning, especially for the parking lot option or acquiring a few additional adjoining parcels and rezoning it for retail/restaurant space.

Malfunctioning appliances can lead to property damage... think water, electricity, natural gas, flames, run amok.

@Alex T.I like the advice from@Engelo Rumora basically Persistence overcomes Resistance!

if the house were heated with a heat pump and it gets cold , the emergency heat kicks in , its resistance heat , same as electric baseboard .
