Man puts toilet in yard to protest about upcoming duplex
April 15th, 2011 - 11:33 pm ICT by Aishwarya BhattDenver, April 15 (THAINDIAN NEWS) A man registered his displeasure for a proposed construction of a duplex in his neighborhood by building series of toilets in front of his house. Anthony Cooper has built a total of four toilets on his front yard.
A 1920 house has been demolished to make way for the duplex. The contractor explained that he has tried to make peace with Cooper on several occasions but has failed. He said his workers have shown on some occasions that they do not want confrontation with Cooper. He revealed that on one occasion, his workers cleared snow from Cooper’s sidewalk.
Cooper’s problem is that the duplex does not suit the nature of buildings in the neighborhood. Cooper’s home is a single-storey house which was built in the early 1900s. The contractor, Craig Jones, says it is not correct that the building does not match the neighborhood. He explained that he and his workers have gone the extra length to match the bricks that they use with those in the neighborhood match.
The owners of the duplex have all the necessary documents to make the building legal. It is being offered for $650,000 but Cooper say he hopes to discourage potential buyers with his toilets.
