After reading about your problems, I was trying to see if that picture had been "photo shopped." Good to see your smiley faces

We've got the same HOA b.s., even though I don't associate with them or pay their dues (their pompous arse names were not on any mortgage papers we signed when we bought/built this place). But if the offending object is on the driveway behind the front line of the house like yours, it's legal.
