interesting garage for a boat

I love the good old HOA debate.

haha. ya it is a debate for sure. all I'll say is don't rely on county/state/city codes to take care of your issue if you have a problem move in.

larry is correct. only takes 1 to be an issue and most of the time hoa's are only dealing with "that one" person who happens to be vocal on social media...

the house is very well executed. hard to see and I bet money it gave the hoa fits but it's likely legal and passed... surprised it's the only one I have seen like it.

It's a debate for sure. I understand the purpose and the good intentions of an HOA but my experience with them was the bad Larry brought up. Maybe I'm the problem neighbor....lol

Anyway, mine did not live up to their end of the deal. Board decided to stop payment (I was not on the board). The whole neighborhood got threatened and again the HOA won and still got their money without fixing the common areas and perimeter fencing.
After several stand-offs and personal arguments over adding a fence for my dogs and repairing the deck we were able to work it out just seemed to be a hassle for what they did not do.
I now live in the rural setting and with good neighbors we all have nice upkept places but I'm awaiting the "1 bad apple". However, with property values being doubled in the last 5 years it has stopped house building in my part of Ohio. This is much better for us since we have the freedom to do as we please. I was able to build my shop and keep everything under roof where the HOA wouldn't even allow a plastic outdoor shed to house my push mower.

This is the truth. Our HOA has been very weak overall and unwilling to enforce much, which has been good. However, it was previously able to keep people from creating duplex homes or mother-in-law homes. State law changed and now that is all allowed and no HOA or city codes can prevent it.

Interesting way to hide the big door.
