Let’s start with the fact that there is an HOA rule that no heating plus cooling component can be seen from the street.
While seemingly irrelevant, this seems to be the heart of the problem between me plus the HOA.
I mean, what’s so bad about seeing residential Heating & Air Conditioning component next to a person’s house? I mean we all have residential Heating & Air Conditioning so it’s not like we are pretending we don’t. And since we all have easily similar versions of the same sort of heating plus cooling equipment, what has so offensive about seeing it from the street? But apparently, there is a rule plus my HOA is being super picky about enforcing this rule. This all came about because my son got a little overzealous when it came to trimming a hedge. My kid is 13 plus he isstill learning his way around turf plus garden equipment. But the only way we learn is to make mistakes plus do things we have not done before. So my kid ended up trimming the hedge of a little bit too low plus now the heating plus cooling component can be seen from the street. It didn’t take 24 hours before I had a ugly SMS sitting in my inbox. The HOA was ready to begin fining me bi-weekly until I put up a fence. I wrote back that the hedge would entirely grow back in a few months plus I wouldn’t be paying any sort of fine. So now, I have ruffled those feathers plus they are coming after me with bi-weekly threats to the point where I’m about to turn all this over to my lawyer. I’m all for rules plus regulations although I draw the line at being bullied.
