ya u are not suppose to here either. and they have be self closing. i can't get my occupancy permit till the fence is up actually so i have;t had one since the pool was finished last year, but got permission to fill cause of it being plaster. we are don't have crazy fence codes here. a lot of the country around me up here don't even need them. my town just wants something. they don't care height or have any detail regarding them. just have one and make sure it closes off the yard.
the pool house started as a bathroom cause i said from day 1. no pool unless there is a bathroom. no kids in and out of the house. then my builder was like u might as well put some storage out there. then my dad's buddy who did my brick was like we doing a fireplace. you are already putting a roof out there. extend it a bit. doesn't cost anything since it's open. then i was like well i might as well make a cooking area so we can free up some space on the porch. i didn't have depth cause of the yard so i had to go long. . . so it kept getting longer and longer. i wish i had more depth. it is coming together nicely though. the storage is awesome. so nice to have all the electrical inside and it allows me to future proof easier. once u add a bath u can do anything somewhat cheaper cause u have get water, sewer, and electrical out for the pool anyway so that is a lot of the cost. we could have put it on a slab vs frost walls like a house but my buddy said the cost again was not huge which it wasn't so that made it safer. i guess once you keep saying oh you already did this and oh thesis cheap to add it all adds up. i'm married to it now so i just have to pace myself and get it done and it's over forever. but everyone is really helping me out. jim is on a commercial job right now and he gave me the 2 days get my roof watertight cause we are suppose to get 3 inches of rain monday tueaday. he got his copper guy to get me done in 1 day to where i need to be. i couldn't get over that. so i'm happy.
best of all joe who did my brick. i love him like a father, stuck with it on his own to her save me money, after a knee replacement. there were a lot of days he just couldn't go it by noon. but he is perfect now and back to himself but he knew i wanted to get done.

you want to see woodwork detail dirk go to my flickr page and look for my bar and curios that my buddy's shop did or look at the door for my theatre they built for me that i designed. that is woodworking at it's finest. his shop is awesome. they do everything by hand still. he has no automated machines. they only have machines for some sanding and planing wood. they still sand mostly everything by hand. they build everything and do all their profiles. nothing comes in pre done. he ran all my trim for my house trim buildups. he really is awesome!

they are. they really are. just decades of experience. maybe not up on all the newest things out there, but what they do they all do so well. and they care. no crews just them doing all the work. always there head in it all. i am so thankful for all of them. the fence was hard for me cause i didn't know him so i have very little trust but he knocked it out for me. great guy. was fun to deal with. i laughed cause he delivered the fence and called me to surprise me cause he knew i was wanting to get it done. so he figured dropping it off and not telling me would surprise me, but my wife called and said the fence was there. he was upset cause he want'ed me to be all surprised when i got home. lol
(But that was the extent of it!!)
All of that work and NO mess to be seen! Thanks for us know you ARE human after all! 
(did anyone notice the picture after the "mess" picture? Look how neat and tidy it is! Even the wheel barrow is straight!)
