         The trouble is that most of those one size fits all regulations 
were originally passed to protect homeowners from unscrupulous or 
incompetent contractors and builders, not homeowners from themselves. The 
original purpose is kind of debatable in itself since as long as you check 
reputations most of them (at least local ones) have a reputation to 
maintain and guard it carefully. Now the bureaucrats have twisted, lied and 
perverted those regulations not to protect people but to give themselves 
power. Local planners (not all) can be some of the most power mad little 
Hitlers you ever saw.
         I not only consider it acceptable to bend some of those 
regulations (a lot of which will not stand up in higher courts anyway), but 
I also consider it a responsibility to bend them...   :-)   I also write 
the occasional newspaper piece putting them down. The latter does keep me 
watching my back a little.   :-)
