My HOA is ordering me to remove my Egg from the property

My previous house did not have an HOA, and I lost about $20k when I sold it because of the condition of my neighbors houses. If they would have mowed the grass, and not had a stack of pallets in their driveway, I would have had a little more money.

I've served on two HOA boards, and as President of both. It's a thankless job that I hated and will NEVER do it again. That said, in my experience all the HOA really wants is to protect property values. Of course there are examples of out of control HOA's and they ruin it for everyone else. I would start with talking to them in person and explaining, with facts, that the egg is one of the safest grills you can own. In both of my experiences the by-laws were written so the board can make changes at any time without home-owner input as long as the board was voted on by the homeowners and there was a quorum. Much like elected officials can change things without citizen input, we elected them to be our representatives. Anyway, if this doesn't work then you may have to send your own letters from an attorney. This will likely scare them away, very few would want to spend money on court costs. Best of luck, hopefully you are dealing with reasonable folks and they will make a reasonable decision.

I cut our neighbor's foreclosed lawn for two years while I watch the swimming pool turn interesting shades of black, brown, green and nuclear. Bitched at the HOA who did not do a thing. It was at the height of the recession, the bank owned it and didn't give a crap how it looked.New Albany, Ohio

aukerns08 said:@DoubleEgger he'll never cut it again now that you've started. I'm surprised they didn't contract a landscaping company and send him the bill or fine him in the amount of the bill. That's what most do.

One of my grandfather's quotes seems pertinent here... "...just cause a bunch of people got together and wrote something down on paper doesn't make it right".
He usually would say this to the officer when he was getting one of his many speeding tickets, they always laughed. A few let him go. Yes, I was in the car for at least 10 of his "good driving awards".
He was a saint!! Just liked to drive fast.

@Ozzie_Isaac ... I thought your mother taught you not to play with fire like that!
So now you're using your shrubs for smoke wood?
