In an earlier statement Wood conceded the house might be over the limit by a little more than a foot. But once the house is finished, and the soil and landscaping laid out, he believes it will be within regulations.

They plan to tamp the soil down THAT much, eh.

One foot of top soil will be able to keep the house within regulations.

I would have told the neighbors to go to hell.

NO, he is going to show them how poorly written thier assinine law is. It probably states the Gable can only be X FEET above ground level instead of "X" feet from the slab. SO, he is going to raise "GROUND LEVEL" around his house by the distance needed to bring the gable within "regulations"
