Moving soon to a neighborhood where the HOA does ALL lawn maintenance... cannot wait. Once a week, there will be five hours of chaos, and the rest of the week will be silent.
As it is... Saturday and Sunday, all neighbors take their shift. One guy starts at 7:30 Saturday, one at 9:30, one at 11:30, etc., until sundown. Repeats on Sunday. |

I was running the lawnmower around 945 am today. I was thinking I’m a real prick for doing this. Only 10 min job max as I was doing the ditch where my automower dare not venture. When you have a 1 year old 9 am is like noon

Spoke to my neighbor and had to ask why today was a good day to wash his driveway for 5hrs. He told me he wanted it cleaned of dust. I told him it seemed like a waste of water. He shrugged. Said he pays for it.
When we run out of water, I won’t shed a tear for guys like him. |

I usually power wash the cars, backyard, driveway and gutters on the weekend...but I have a cover for my pool and drought tolerant landscape in SoCal so I don’t waste water. I usually play music on the Sonance so the neighbors can’t hear the power washer or leaf blower.

I guess I don't mind the "power-washers" and the "blower-vacs" so much (as long as they don't blow all their 5h1t into the street - blow it into your yard DH!)
What annoys me is the morons who think it is fun to rev a motorbike for several hours - "I'm tuning it". You haven't got the intelligence to "tune" anything - you are just a moron.

Very reasonable hours. Still isn’t it best to hire someone to do it for you during the week?

I used to be exactly like that when I was young. In fact I was until I got old. Now at 58, we bought a new house in a new neighborhood with an HOA and I wouldn’t consider it any other way!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

For a little while, I had some real asshat neighbors that were renting the house next to mine when I lived at Lake Tahoe.
For some reason, I didn't feel bad at all when I started the snowblower at 0230 hours to remove the two feet of snow that fell during my shift.

What people don't take into consideration are those us who work graveyard. Those are terrible hours... unless the they are P.M.

I was sorta expecting a bigger rant. I’m not mad, just disappointed.
