Then you need to go raise hell with the board...
You guys talking about this made me think of my mom.
She is the type person that would come in the bathroom and flush the toilet while you sat on it.
She married money later in life and got in an HOA - it was right up her alley. She quickly became the lead voice and started straightening out everyone. “You can’t do this, etc etc”
Then along comes my dip wad older brother and the most important human being on earth to her- this is the genius she built a house while he was in prison. She’s going to fix it all……. So he goes off the rails and sells the sheet rock off the wall for dope and causes her all kinds of joy, then it gets so bad he has to move back in with her. He is 62 this november. Major idiot. Drags up old cars, plays music at 120db, won’t shut up.
Well, not too long after that, he gets messed up and wanders off and wakes up in the neighbors driveway.
She ends up so embarrassed I think she holed up in the house and gave the HOA the break everyone was looking for.
She came out on a job once, just visiting, we were re doing a floor someone screwed up bad , in the home of the head of the local BBB. It had a random pattern I think. We had it looking flat and great.
She walks out on the porch and we are mixing grout or something - and starts shouting “y’all have to tear this out…it’s all wrong, blah blah blah.”
I was like -“Mom! Shut your mouth, have you lost your ever loving mind?”
