Here's a random post.

Gary Coleman was really a great child actor. He's more entertaining than most of the adult actors in this world! Haha! I love "Different Strokes"!

They are turning "jPod" by Douglas Coupland into a TV Series next year. Alan Thicke is going to star in it. And it's a Canadian Show (duh). I better read the book before this show airs, huh? Haha!

Family faces battle over ultimate tree house

A Vancouver architect thought he was doing something nice for his kids when he built them a fancy tree house.

However, Andrew Dewberry didn't count on an annoyed neighbour or the city's bureaucracy siding with her, and now finds himself in a fight over the structure.

The tree house is shaped like a pirate ship. Dewberry spent almost $3,000 building it in his front yard. His sons Jack and Sam love their hideaway in the cedars.

Some neighbours in the exclusive neighbourhood of Kerrisdale applaud Dewberry's creation.

"I think it's a fantastic place. I wish I had something like that when I was a kid. It's really something good," said Norm Randall.

However, his immediate neighbour Janice McShane complains that the structure impedes her view.

"The Dewberrys have clearly crossed the line and defied the bylaws that the city created so we could all live together and enjoy our properties," she said.

Dewberry said the place where he built the tree house is the only place it could be built safely.

"I have compromised on my design. I have mitigated it against my neighbour's complaints," he said.

He insists he called the city first and got the go-ahead.

"It didn't seem as if it could have been much clearer. A tree fort is a tree fort: it's a temporary piece of playground equipment," Dewberry said.

However, a bylaw officer decided the house was a building like a shed, and required a building permit.

The city then denied Dewberry a permit but he refused to dismantle the tree house. The city is now taking the Dewberrys to court.

If the Dewberrys lose, they'll be out the tree house, the money spent to build it and could face a $2,000 fine.

"Obviously I'm going to try to appeal on the basis of common sense. Common sense says this is just equipment for kids to play," Dewberry said.

A court date will be set at the end of August.

With a report from CTV's Todd Battis

Seriously Lady, let the kids have fun! I hate these stupid moronic people. Why can't they just let others be happy. I saw the treehouse and it doesn't seem to block too much, so I'm not sure what this treehouse is blocking in her view. Whatever, morons will continue to exist. I'm sorry, but I can't stand people making big deals out of nothing.
