Not knowing any English, my parents blithely signed the papers that made the house ours. Apparently, among those papers, was the FCCA deed restriction. The repercussions are only starting to appear, for there exists the compliance inspector with no life. Thus far, he has written about these issues:
- The electrical breakers box is the wrong color: The house is that way when we bought it.
- White rocks on landscape bed near the front door: The house is also that way when we bought it. However, because we watered and did other maintenance tasks, the rocks eventually became hidden in the dirt and discolored. We bought some more rocks to fix that. I’ll scan the complaint letter later.
- Patches of missing grass: Perfectly legit, but it takes time to fix, though!
Let me ask a question: Do I have to ask for approval to plant a flower in the front yard? Oh, the horror of living in such an uptight community like this… the horror of living in a world where rules exist to generate revenue. Rest assured that I will not be living here again when I get my degree.
