Somebody has built a large snow fort on Ellicott Street, in the city, in front of St. Joe's Cemetery. It looks like the developer used one of the city's blue recycling buckets to pack snow in and then piled the blocks on top of each other.

Do they need a storm run-off analysis and engineered retention pond? Did they do a soil bearing test? Come to think about it, did they do a traffic impact study? They're turning an awfull lot of necks.
Add all this crap to my previous post, and what do you get? If you what to build something, you might as well quit before you start, and save yourself the aggravation.
