My husband wanted to get me a greenhouse for Christmas. Well the HOA couldnt get it figured out in time. Here we are 2 months later and I have to take my drawings in to them today at the meeting.
I anticipate approval but they say since I am the first to request one they have to write the rules. Sad to think isnt it?
Wish me luck!

Meeting went well but they had to vote during the closed session so it may be a day or two until I hear if it is approved. they just want to be sure that we will keep up on the maintenance of it and were worried about it yellowing.

ARrggggghhhh.. closed session? Really? You need to run for HOA office, mup. I was on the board for a year. It was the most miserable experience ever. I quit before my term was over. The then president had been in charge for 11 years and only wanted yes men. I wasn't that girl. |

Oh I hate when that happens! HOA's can be very valuable to homeowners when operated right, but too often they turn in to mean petty little fiefdoms run by contoling officers.

Thought I would share some photos with you! My Meyer Lemon and Clementine trees came today. They will stay inside for a while and then come back inside in the winter.  |

The greenhouse is almost done being built. Hubby just needs to put on the door.  |

Mup first thing and totally off topic but I have wanted to say I LOVE your avatar pic. You are beautiful! And the black and white picture of you and your girls is awesome.
And as far as HOAs. I could NEVER handle it. NEVER. Normal every day rules are bad enough for me but to have someone telling me what I can and can't do on my own land...um nope, ain't happening. I am glad though you got it approved.

Thanks Harley! I love this photo of me and the girls! My best friends took our pictures last fall and this is hands down my favorite one ever. I joke that no one can tell they are my kids at all.  Now that the lady that was president has moved on and is terrorizing another neighborhood, the new board seems to be pretty chill. I really like the new President. He was just joining the board when I was resigning (because the old president and I had a conflict of interest. She wanted a yes man and I wasnt it) For the most part, they arent to bad. I understand they exist to keep our home values up. The neighborhood next to ours has one that doesnt enforce anything and there is a freshly painted house in lavender and maroon. I would be pissed if I lived next door. There was another one in that neighborhood that was blue and white on 2 sides and brown and tan on 2 sides for nearly 2 years. It is lie they just said, we arent going to finish painting it! LOL |
