Clearly the "water feature" needs some bubble bath beads tossed into the gravel area sometime. Would make it look better covered in a giant mass of foam. or something. (Don't do this)..

Last year My neighbors planted trees that are going to obscure my view as soon as they grow more than 3” in violation of HOA bylaws, despite supposedly having an approved landscaping plan from the HOA. I’m assuming there will probably be a lawyer involved at some point as this will likely reduce the value of my lot significantly but I was waiting until they actually started obscuring to really start bitching which tbh is probably right now.

Burt I saw a home improvement show where they put in a three basalt column fountain exactly like that. It looked okay in the setting they did it which was not in the middle of their driveway with a cord running under the garage door.

I live in an apartment and haven't really met any neighbors. But I'm the weird foreigner in this scenario plus I almost never see anyone else who lives here. Maybe I should install a water feature so I can meet people?

Admitting you have an hoa is the dreaded self own

My neighbor came over and moved some brush for me with his tractor after he got off work, a+ neighbor would say howdy to again

The previous neighbor that lived there before accused me of running over her dog because i walked to her door and said that her dead dog was in the road. She also accused my wife of stealing her mail, not like a fedex package but the junk mail and phone bill.

In Reno you either have a house on the edge of town with arsenic laden well water, a house built in the 70s that’s constructed entirely of lead and asbestos, or an HOA.

It's me, I'm the bad neighbor. I let the gardens go wild and it looks like crap, but the city won't let me just pave it over. My mother came to visit recently, and after seeing the yard, she told me that I was clearly the white trash of the neighborhood. Thanks mom.

I emailed my HOA this morning about the trees I’m taking bets on how long they take to respond and whether or not their response is more helpful than “lol go gently caress yourself.”

My dude across the street cut down a tree in between his driveways and put in a 3 foot water fountain that runs 24x7. Its fugly. It’s loud enough I hear it inside. It doesn’t produce oxygen and consumes electricity continually. He’s been ruled an idiot. “Water features” should be illegal. I’m calling the HOA.

I live on a hill and the back looks over a lake (yeah yeah poor Burt) anyways a dude below planted trees on far corner from his house, he couldn’t even see it from his house. It would block our (partial) view that we had left in a year. I went down and asked if I could pay to have it professionally moved 20’ to the left. He said no. I’m like wtf dude, what’s it matter. He said he wanted to mark his property line/corner. He sold the house two years later. Infuriating. My hoa isn’t a traditional one with ten thousand rules, we just joined together to pay for community septic, water, roads,etc.

this is a better avatar than what I had before
not infuriating by any means, but just after we moved in we met our neighbours who were planning a round the country trip in this big old 4WD truck thing, that looked like a military vehicle setup for camping

we noticed they were driving it around it a lot, and it was noticeable because it was loud as hell and belched about a million litres of diesel fumes into the air at all times, but they were nice and tbh it was a pretty rad truck so it didn't bother us.

Anyway the truck and them disappear one day so we assume they've headed out on their trip. About a week later we come home and lo and behold the truck is back out the front.

Turns out the thing dropped the transmission two days into their multiple-months-long journey, so the entire trip was off, and they had to pay to get it shipped several hundred kilometres back home.

yada yada yada they got divorced and the truck is still in the exact same spot the tow-truck dropped it off :(

For reals, you might have a serial killer or other assorted murderer living near you.

Also, I think the FBI investigates animal cruelty at certain thresholds due to that.

Lol went over and chatted up banker man. Picture coming of fountain 2.0. It was $4200 btw installed.

Better? But still lol prob five grand all said and done. It’s “Mongolian stone” or some bullshit he said. It was too low below grade so they dug it all out and raised it. An entire day of four crew.



It looks like a cum machine now. Which is p good considering

I feel like that fountain might work in a garden with a lot of ferns and moss or something. It looks so loving stupid just out in the open like that. Like a boomer fell into a bunch of brutalist sculptures.
