Today received my yearly bill (no complaints here only $138) and along with it they have the budget and other documents. This year they included the architectural guidelines. Going through them come across item #8, swimming pools. Above ground permanent swimming pools are no longer permitted.

 

Rewind:

 

Back in 2010 i had the head of the arch. committee out to approve an above ground pool (at the time it was ok). I had to raise my fence a foot (5 ft requirement), then he signed the paperwork in June of 2010 to approve the pool and my pool deck. I obtained the proper county building permits. The pool was put in July 2010, and the county building inspector came out to verify/approve my fence, location of pool, and electrical I ran. He signed off on everything. I subsequently added the deck after the pool was put in. I have a good amount of $$$ into this project and now they go and change the rules. Nothing like trying to hit a moving target.

 

I have a buddy who is a lawyer and I spoke with him. He basically said with having all the signatures they dont have a leg to stand on and I should be "grandfathered" in.

 

Anyone have a similar situation and how did ti turn out.

 

Next house will not have an HOA included :) Maybe sooner rather than later.

I do a bit of general contracting on the side under a friends license. Here in Fl they can not make you take down a permitted structure. A lot of people just do stuff anyways, take the one fine (they can only fine you once in my area) and move on. I find it entertaining as I hate HOA's.

Ryan your lawyer buddy is right it will be grandfathered in and they cant make you take it down because they changed the rules.

 

Hoa's are good to a point as it keeps your neighborhood from turning into a slum area but sometimes they are a pain. My brother lived in a neighborhood with the hoa and he wanted to put up a fence he could do it but it had to meet a certain style he had to pick one of the two even though it was only a 4ft fence which is stupid.

I'd never buy a home covered by an HOA. I'd also never live in a neighborhood so it's a moot point. lol

HOAs have their good points and bad points.

 

Bad Point, no you cant paint your house lime green

 

Good Point, take that lime green paint off your house!

In an HOA here too, and if you're only paying $138, you've got it easy. I'll leave it at that as the wife is over my shoulder and would be way too cheerful if I got into an HOA rant

It WAS a cool old building until they quit maintaining it and it became a fire hazard and hotel for stray cats and raccoons lol. they also were cooking meth out of it for a bit... the roof started leaking years ago and it rotted out this last year there was a noticable shift in the building it was going to fall over sometime. (of course the "Save the historical building" people got involved not understanding that it was too far gone at that point) so we had a fight to get it down. If it had gone up my Garage and house were likely going with it.

 

Lots of good memories buying candy as a kid from that store but so nice it's gone. It's a shame when people let stuff go. Wish they had sold it to someone who would have cared.

      2015 Sierra Denali L86 cyl 5 misfire at idle

      By Gkistler · Posted

      Hi friends - first time poster. I have a 2015 sierra Denali with 150k miles, I’m the second owner and she’s given me 75k of great service. I run a pulse AFM disable device. Starting Thursday when I exited the freeway after a short local ride it started idling rough, with an obvious misfire shake and was down on low end power.  I got it home and hooked it up to my scannner and found no codes but in live data a pretty bad misfire on cylinder 5. I replaced the coil, plug and wire with all new OE replacements (Delphi gn10165 coil, acdelco wire and 41-168 plug). It’s still behaving the same way after firing the parts cannon at it.   I know cyl 5 is a non AFM cylinder so I am not thinking this is AFM related but I’m kinda at a loss. injector? Bent pushrod? It’s running too well over 1k rpm to suggest those IMO. Has anyone chase this issue before and what was it? Any suggestions?

      Pulsating Noise 4Cyl Mode

      By zibzer2 · Posted

      2017 Silverado L83 5.3l 6speed transmission Hello, not a new member but havent posted in a while and my old signup info isnt working so had to create a new account. anyways, I have an issue with my truck and hope someone can spread some light on whats happening: -when it goes to 4cyl mode it makes a clunk sound (but not when coasting or going downhill) -when in 4 cyl mode and under load it makes a load pulsating sound (not a tick). -goes away completely when in M5 gear or when plugging in an AFM delete. Im guessing it is one of 2 things but im not convinced of either to be honest. 1. lifter stuck in v8 mode 2. torque converter shudder realistically it doesn't seem like the TC as there is no physical vibration , and it never happens in v8 mode. but maybe? and wouldnt a lifter make a sound whether with load or not? any ideas let me know please. thank you!

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Which has made me wonder with the various engine failures of a few brands in the last few years, is it sub par materials such as lifters etc causing failures, or bearing clearances on the crank etc or perhaps bad designing of an engine physically or causing too much load on the components due to the hp/torque they can push out of them. Or is the oil viscosity and additive package of current oils or a lack of oil flow by an oil pump not able to supply sufficient oil at idle or under high load at low rpm. Or is it every item I listed that combined together has pushed the limits so far to the left that there is hardly a margin of safety left and add in some fuel dilution and too long of an OCI and premature engine failure is the result ?.

      He is not saying that an SAE *W20 will have more viscosity than a *W40 due to MORE VII polymers. He is saying that although multiple *W40 may post in the PDS the same or similar 100 C and 150 C viscosities that the blenders choice of modifier TYPE and AMOUNT to get his chosen base to grade will not give identical real world viscosities in shear and at temperature. All will pass the SII test but not all will pass the 100 C HTHS (unpublished value) testing the blender does and relies on to get the required by law "percentage improvement' referenced to his last great work.    Tis the problem with the lie. Once told others are required to support it.

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      I have a `25, 1500 that auto sets on incline. Never knew that at first. I have the electronic shifter. Just think if it didn`t do that? Unlike a mechanical shift that you can muscle out of park, how would you get this thing out? That would be a problem.   What I found out later is, I don`t have to push the button to release. Just put it in gear.   Setting parameters? Don`t know if it`s possible.
