He gave me 3 days to finish the projects before he would call the HOA and the city. My other neighbors had dropped by, one who is a police officer in an adjoining city, told me, "Cool looking stands, man." I got them done in the time prescribed, and parked one of our cars in the garage for at least a week.

A week ago, my next-door neighbors on the other side inflated an inflatable pool for their kids; the kids were loud and sprayed water all over the place. Having had three kids like he does, and how they were loud as Hell, I enjoyed the heck out of it.

Screw the HOA's, and pompous asses who keep HOA handbooks, and have nothing to do but bitch about their low-life neighbors.

I'm curious, why did you chose to move to an HOA-controlled community?
