I hate our HOA. I truly do. And hate is not a word I use lightly, I don't say I hate people, food, etc because I think it is just too strong of a word to flippantly throw around. But my HOA, wow, they invoke such strong reaction from me!
Earlier this year we got a letter from them. The cute little swing set that lives in our backyard and has for the past years was contraband, true story. You're not allowed to erect a 3-swing/1-slide swing set in our neighborhood without PERMISSION. Say what?
So we jumped through all their hoops, drew up a "plan" for a swingset, got neighborhood signatures, turned it only to have our HOA lose that sucker. Yup, gone.
So on the 2nd of July we got a letter, we were instructed to paint our house or possibly incur $100 a day fines, we had 7 days - GO! So I wrote a letter pleading for more time while we interview painters, pull a couple grand out of thin air and most importantly decide what color we want to paint.
So today we interviewed the first possible painter. My only question for them. Can you paint "our HOA sucks" on our garage door but only have it visible with 3D glasses?
Please look for your 3D glasses in our Christmas card this year and happy viewing.
