I edited the audience field... it should only describe the audience; use the example questions to describe the domain – Joel Spolsky May 27 '10 at 14:25

Why does it have to be (serious) DIY'ers? Why not the weekend warrior, or anyone who wants to DIY? – Alan Jun 12 '10 at 21:09

Too localised.. – ChrisF May 29 '10 at 11:20

What if there is another user from the same area that knows the answer? – Arlen Beiler May 30 '10 at 11:24

@Arlen - the definition of "Too Localised" is "This question would only be relevant to a small geographic area, a specific moment in time, or an extraordinarily narrow situation that is not generally applicable to the worldwide audience of the internet." This fails on the small geographic area and specific moment in time parts. – ChrisF May 30 '10 at 17:49

Who says that this site will use the so definition of localized? – bmargulies Jun 5 '10 at 2:12

It would be better to ask, in general, where you can find the most recent building codes – d03boy Jun 14 '10 at 3:40

To localised as it depends on local planning laws and application processes. – ChrisF May 27 '10 at 10:33

Question could be reduced to, "How can I build my own neighborhood trebuchet?" – Shog9 May 27 '10 at 16:17

@Shog9 - Your ideas intrigue me, and I would like to subscribe to your newsletter. – Adam Davis May 27 '10 at 16:38

Legal issues should be off-topic on most of these sites. – Good Person May 27 '10 at 7:43

A moderator should edit this to read - "Does anybody have experience with ignoring / going against the neighborhood association?" - so it's soliciting personal experience, not legal advice. Best to have the question asked, answered, and searchable - or it'll just come up 12 times a month. ;) – Kara Marfia May 27 '10 at 13:17

	what state? how much do you pay? – antony.trupe Jun 11 '10 at 19:52
	@antony - Note the emphasis on training, which I'm sure is priceless! ;-D (I am not doing work on my basement, this is simply an example question...) – Adam Davis Jun 12 '10 at 1:47

	I think it may be more on topic if you were asking how to protect from this type of thing (ie: what kind of wax to use or something) – d03boy Jun 2 '10 at 4:00
	This is related to Cleaning or Housekeeping, not Home Improvement. As @d03boy states, this would be better if it were asking what material to use to prevent it. – Jeff Yates Jun 9 '10 at 14:15

	Off topic as it's about the TV show ;) – ChrisF Jun 1 '10 at 14:07
	but the TV show is on topic. – antony.trupe Jun 11 '10 at 19:52
	this is an obvious and therefore somewhat meaningless example. And nobody is going to ask it – d03boy Jun 16 '10 at 1:01
	Tim: Ah ah ah more power! Al: I don't think so, Tim. – Daniel X Moore Jun 16 '10 at 20:42
