Too bad I'm in Seattle--otherwise I'd be on for helping you plan your little insurrection... Sounds like fun! Not to mention a good "Field Training Exercise"...lol
Exactly what I've been trying to find the nerve to use such "ungentlemanly language" to say for the past--well, since I first saw this thread...Lincsong said:HOA's can kiss my pale white....

Feraud said:A question for those involved with HOV. Do Home Owners Associations do what they intend to do. Apparently their sole function is to maximize profits. Unfortunately, it appears in their zeal for profits there allows for erring (or is it actually good business sense?) on the side of conformity.
So... is the HOV doing their job at the unfortunate expese of individual sense of style or are they a bunch of petty martinets?
As an aside, I think Nashoba's home is beautiful and appropriate for any neighborhood.

Nashoba said:Which is another issue we've had with our builder. When we bought the house we were told that it would have professional landscaping. I don't consider what they did professional and everything they put in has since died. I am no black thumb. I come from a long line of farmers, I know how to care for living things. And when I tried to complain I was literally told by the sales associate, look at what you paid for your house. Of course you weren't going to get 'landscaping'. I would have settled for a half-hearted attempt. They didn't even do that. But it's one more thing that's been cited to various people in the neighborhood by the HOA.

Twitch said:Nashoba what you should do is find a pro-bono lawyer (maybe an ex-Marine ) who will take her to court for harassment, restraining order or whatever legaleze he can apply.
Seriously Nashoba, get a lawyer and make it personal. Obviously this female canine is doing that to you.
