Reply to Are workshops allowed in residential buildings? by Tired-Tenant

Have you tried talking to the town about it? Your building may or may not be zoned as a commercial space. But if they're using a work permit to run the place, then they're probably not following all the rules for whatever type of shop they're running down there anyway. Contact your town's housing and health departments to see what they have to say about it.

Unfortunately, this probably won't go over well with the landlord or their employees, but your options right now only seem to be to fight them on it or move. If you have the money, it may even be worth it to consult a lawyer to see if you could be entitled to compensation.

I mean, you could try but good luck.

Sounds like your realtor just lied to you, and if the permit is there it means it’s legit (even if it’s outdated they would just have to renew it.

Is your rent cheap? I think your best bet is to ask for money off to compensate you for the noise.

I think you a barking up the wrong tree here. You could try to force out the workshop or you could use the noise to get lower rent or break ur lease early. If not, your option is to move out. It is not your property so you are fighting against landlord and workshop owner.

Thank you so much, fellow (former) NC-er! We have lots of beautiful places here. If it wasn’t so hot, I’d enjoy them more. Multiple 90 degree heat index days in February already. Yuck.

I write those towns down to look into. Getting info like this is invaluable - I appreciate your time!

Reply to Where can I find native wild flowers/grass seeds by orangenavy

Prairie moon nursery is a popular online native seed source. You can filter by region/state and pick germination code "A" for seeds that don't require cold stratification.

Make sure to do due diligence and pick a trustworthy source if you want native plants.

Haha coming from the south, you guys are in much much better shape than down here. We only just got 5G, we have loads and loads of dirt roads, I have read that we don’t do vehicle emissions testing, so much litter, no social safety nets, our schools are full of black mold and mildew, polluted drinking water (no one cares), school windows covered with paper or trash bags. You might have some of that kind of stuff but here, it’s everywhere (except maybe less so in the triangle)

Thank you so much - this was really thoughtful and helpful

I truly never would have thought of limits on dogs! Animals have basically no rights down here so something like that didn’t even cross my mind. Multiple collared and tagged dogs just roam around my current town and no one seems to think it’s strange. Owners just let em out before work and bring em back after work. Beagles, pitties, corgis, lab mixes just free wheeling all over and some are obviously not neutered. It’s insanity!
