Nope, time to bob and weave and keeping going. If dead and relocated people can vote then it only makes sense that this dude can have a relative buy this business, open a shop and this guy can operate under that license. Unless someone snitches or the accountant can’t figure out how easy this is to do legally it will be all fine.
 
Two pearls of wisdom from a friend when I moved to Tahoe; make sure the roof doesn't dump on driveways or decks, and avoid North facing driveways.
The code upgrades for snow load on residential construction are outrageous in the Tahoe basin. If you own a house there I hope you pay extra for code upgrades on your homeowner insurance. I worked one job where the homeowner didn't have that coverage. The snow damage to the structure was $87K, the code upgrade was another $250K which he had to pay out of pocket. I am glad I don't have to deal with any Tahoe dwellers anymore.

With this kind of damage they will not replace just the damaged rafters, the entire structure has to be upgraded to current code.

That's shitty. But at the same time, so is a 2x4 rafter. I would be fired for just suggesting such blasphemy.

I had 6' of snow (in 24 hours) on my 32' clear span garage roof trusses. Garage is still standing.
