Yeah, I’ll explain a little better. Basically, there has always been a pool there, basically for the last 20 years … but it’s been three different pools. This last one was installed last year, same spot as always. The guy from the town said “The satellite image doesn’t show a pool here”, which was taken in between replacing pools … yet … you can clearly see the sand where the prior pool was.

Of course, since this is technically a new pool, while it’s in the same spot as it always was, and the installers said no need for a permit since we were “replacing” … the town guy still said a permit is required and it falls under new code which is 10 feet.

I talked to a good friend who builds homes and he told me that if the town said the pool has to come down … it’s coming down. :banghead

Here’s the pictures of the fence. My friend also told me that if the fence is on my property (Which I’m 99.99% sure it is), it would technically be my fence and I could do with it what I choose. Maybe I’ll put it on the other side of my house, and he can buy a whole new fence. :lol

I can’t even change out my rotting window without going into “his yard”.
