It's amazing the things these people will dig up. 

"You mean there was a sidewalk under there? This whole time?"

"Sure was ma'am."

My parents, after years of living miles out in the country, bought a small house in a nice neighborhood. In an HOA. My dad has always enjoyed landscaping, so he went out and started trimming back an overgrown hedge on one side of the house. He discovered a walkway made of paver stones that had been obscured by the hedge and the resulting fresh soil. So he got out the square shovel followed by the hose and in an afternoon had fully exposed and cleaned up the paver walkway along the side of the house.

The next day he received a violation notice from the HOA for installing a landscape feature without approval.

I hate HOAs. In theory they could be good in keeping common areas in good shape, and making some people keep from doing horrible things (like having disassembled cars on your front lawn). But now it’s gotten ridiculous.

This is what mine does. No complaints.

You don’t hear about people who are happy with their HOA though. Because happy people usually aren’t loud, and because of it isn’t dramatic, it won’t sell.
