Leave your trash can out with a copy of the approval request taped to the front.

that, or leave the new windows out in front of the housing, eagerly awaiting installation.

....seriously?

We have a Fred too, and yeah, Fred is precisely why I resigned from our board. Volunteers don't need that level of abuse.

I’m not even upset about that.  My wife on the other hand….  It’s just a letter.  In the decade and a half we’ve been here I think we’ve gotten 3.   All stupid bull [BLEEP] that has already been taken care of prior to the letter.  

I did hear a story from another hood, that has the same management company as mine, someone got a letter on the lawn not being cut.  The owner came back with something about “it’s natural” or a “natural look”. Apparently they let him off the hook.  Idk how or why though since I’m sure the bylaws or whatever specifically state to keep a maintained lawn. Either way, I found it funny.  Mainly because they don’t live next door to me.
