Plenty of homes, just on large lots. Trees. Topography. I agree with you about a detest for HOA in general. Was quite happy to not have one when I co-owned the house in Michigan. People just had pride in their homes and thus took care of them. (Im thinking of getting a petition going to see if there is enough votes to disolve the HOA altogether. ;) )<br /><br />@ Ray, Thanks! No doubt. HOAs get confused and convoluted. This subdivision was established 40-50 years ago. I am not in favor of HOAs. We are all adults here. We know what to do etc. Regardless of a few bad seeds. Crazy about the power they supposedly can possess. <br /><br />@ Muse : I'm as well. I remember listening to an HOA board member years ago (not connected to me) talk about not wanting people to even have their garage doors open! <br /><br />@ Cat : Thanks! Kiki is having a blast walking around the three acres, eating the high desert hardy grasses. ;)The Stay @ Home-Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06102175625149771801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5192028072022682301.post-66467375794571668402013-06-23T06:28:19.763-07:002013-06-23T06:28:19.763-07:00Very cute shed!

A hurdle passed that you didn't know you...Yay! A hurdle passed that you didn't know you had to pass, ha. In Texas, HOA's are the scourge of most neighborhoods because they have monopoly like powers. It's kind of creepy. They have even TAKEN people's homes for non payment of dues or wrong paint color. <br /><br />Where we live in the city is an old neighborhood (100 years old) and so there are no associations and pretty much no restrictions. The farm is rural enough that there is land with mobile homes, land with old small frame houses (like ours) and land with big brick homes. I think an HOA would just be confused about what to do, LOL!<br /><br />1st Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04861609647607912193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5192028072022682301.post-25498873593370652332013-06-22T15:11:09.834-07:002013-06-22T15:11:09.834-07:00I never heard of a HOA on a (practically) deserted...I never heard of a HOA on a (practically) deserted mountainside! That's exactly what kept me from moving into a nice house on the golf course, opting instead for my older home in a simple suburban location. I've always been one of those "mind your own business" types. Of course, I complain about my neighbor's weeds, and if they let the entire property go to weeds I'd probably complain to the city. I just found out her weeds are edible, so I'll reach over the fence for an occasional harvest. Too bad I don't also like eating crab grass, Bermuda grass and milk weed! But, back to the subject, I'm happy your structure was approved :-)Annie*s Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772261218172078099noreply@blogger.com
