We keep our road paved, yards mowed, trash picked up & that's about it.<br /><br />But just on the other side of the Interstate is a beautiful area with lakeside lots & more rules to live by than I could stand. When my husband builds there, everything thing has to be approved, down to every window, shingle, door color, etc. They even have a strict landscaping guideline. They about hang you from the gallows if you bulldoze down a scrub tree, preparing the lot for a basement! After the owners move in, the association tells them when their garage door has been up too long! But...it is absolutely beautiful & every once in a while I think I just might like to live there. Then I think again.Sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17324850294489701187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466688981552322075.post-62259549967470875362012-08-07T18:44:17.193-05:002012-08-07T18:44:17.193-05:00We have lived in the city with POA rules and I am ...We have lived in the city with POA rules and I am so glad we don't have them now1 I do feel for you!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10123691580195879542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466688981552322075.post-85553590421318322402012-08-07T17:12:32.030-05:002012-08-07T17:12:32.030-05:00Sweet!

That sounds a little unsettling...:)JPjp@A Green Ridgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15217268829093983376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466688981552322075.post-45226872601278881352012-08-07T11:27:31.734-05:002012-08-07T11:27:31.734-05:00We do love where we live, it's quiet and the n...We do love where we live, it's quiet and the neighbors are all nice.

Yes Ma'am, it's a headache and we are just about tired of it all.

Here is hoping when this issue dies that will be it for a while!<br /><br />You want to hear something funny. That little house looks exactly like one in one Wayne Glenn's books only it wasn't log. That was the style of most of the old houses. I showed it to a builder once who was BS'ing me about all the big homes he built for doctors and lawyers......he said he could never sell on like that.....Oh yeah! to me he could. BTW, Wayne writes books on Nixa and Christian County areas where all my "people" are from.gldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03645803822598151817noreply@blogger.com
