Just as well - I have been quite lethargic about mowing the lawns recently. But just found out I am a bit anaemic again which kind of explains it. So I guess the lawns will get done soon enough....Kiwi Nomadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13351034705766073667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13522238.post-55067154164621165112007-11-05T22:11:00.000-05:002007-11-05T22:11:00.000-05:00HOA, a certain recipe for petty tyranny and endles...HOA, a certain recipe for petty tyranny and endless neighborhood feuds.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13522238.post-87660051759790665322007-11-05T19:28:00.000-05:002007-11-05T19:28:00.000-05:00We definitely think alike on this one, MZ.

Unfortunately, in this part of Texas even the cheapest neighborhood (where we live) has an HOA -- though it's low key compared to the rich neighborhoods. Around here you basically need to find a neighborhood more than 25 years old to avoid an HOA -- and it's a pretty new area.Darwinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08572976822786862149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13522238.post-26302467619148262752007-11-05T18:24:00.000-05:002007-11-05T18:24:00.000-05:00It's not just HOA's either.

I don't have one. There's something about buying on the lower end of the market in a depressed part of the country and state that tends to avoid those hassles. ;-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13522238.post-75907091622838287462007-11-05T16:14:00.000-05:002007-11-05T16:14:00.000-05:00Dang!

Reasonable people would not have anything to do with one - they may move to a neighborhood where one exists, but they won't take an interest, that's left for the Hitler and Stalin wannabes.Rick Lugarihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16957595491409017184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13522238.post-61267278037279964532007-11-05T11:10:00.000-05:002007-11-05T11:10:00.000-05:00Heh.

No, I haven't had trouble from the HOA about the playhouse, though I have taken the precaution of placing it such that it can't be seen from outside the yard until I add the roof. Once the roof goes up, it will be pretty obvious and we shall see what happens. <BR/><BR/>Of course, this partly has to do with my "little" playhouse having a roof peak at about 7.5 feet... But hey, everything's bigger in Texas, right?Darwinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08572976822786862149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13522238.post-75078401821647681172007-11-05T10:26:00.000-05:002007-11-05T10:26:00.000-05:00Oh man - you mean to tell us the friggin' Sturmabt...Oh man - you mean to tell us the friggin' Sturmabteilung...
