total newbie question

In my area, we only have to abide by the township ordinaces and can't make up our own rules.  We have covenents that we all try to live by which are written in the by-laws, but we have no legal power.  If township rules are broken, then there is a legal problem.  The only thing we can really do  legally is make sure the assessments are paid before closing on a sold home, but then again, that is a township ordinance.  I don't know about condos and other areas, but that is how it is here in PA.  The HOA really doesn't have that much legal power.

One of the reasons that I started my own business is because I got tired of idiots in the work place with nothing better to do coming up with stupid rules and then running around inforcing them. That is also the reason I don't live in a neighborhood with a strict HOA.

I have an answer to all the HOA problems.  Its called Eastern Montana.  If you don't like HOAs and that sort of thing just move to Carter County Montana.  I promise you won't have to worry about that sort of thing there.  You can have your pop ups and your 5 broke down cars and let your grass grow as long as you want in your front yard, your back yard or anywhere.  No one will bother or even question you.  I would suggest looking into the demographics before you move your family there though.  I guess you might call it rural.  My Canadian friends would compare it to north eastern Brittish Columbia.

See, we can find that kind of "freedom" here, too... which is why we bought in a community with a HOA!    :p  

Anyway, we are back from our trip and besides from it being in the mid 40's (or lower) and windy, we had no rain so we didn't have to worry about packing up in the rain!  Had a good time, though!

Glad you had a good time.  It's good to get out and knock the dust off the camping equipment.  It was chilly this week, but it's still nice to get out.

I know you guys have problems with the old washer and dryers, cars and stuff sitting out in front of the mobile homes in S.C.  I just thought that was the S.C. style.  I'm used to seeing gruby little kids playing amongst the junk in the yards in S.C.  I just thought that was the way it was supposed to be.  That and the missing, or bad teeth thing just reminds me of South Carolina.  I will say this for ya'll though.  You do have South of the Border!  I always thought that SOTB made a great resort community for S.C.  It all just kind of fits together.

Is that banjos I hear playing in the distance?  LOL
