This is a bit of the RIDICULOUSNESS that is going on with our Home Owners Association up on Buck Mountain.
It’s been a total tangle of wits and wills and personalities and stupid ideas.
When we bought there 3 years ago, the home owner’s dues were very affordable at $650 per year, with funds mostly being used to maintain the roads. Many of them are dirt, only the steep inclines have black top for safety reasons…and we were fine with it. Minimal head butting. All was good.
But the recent board has their own agenda for what Buck Mountain needs to become and has increased dues after a washed out road due to rain our first year to quite a bit more – it was supposed to be temporary just to put money back in the fund, but no…they’ve not let it go, and put dues back where they belong. And in fact they want to raise it MORE so they can do things like the horrid buck heads on the gate entry posts that you see here.
I swear, they are tarting up my mountain, and it looks worse than a 40% off sale at Hobby Lobby! Tacky Tacky Tacky!
They took our beautiful waterfall and made it into a “park” and it now has lit pathways and blooming flower pots, benches and tables, Adirondack chairs and HAMMOCKS….this is NOT the nature that I love. It’s like they are trying to turn my beautiful natural mountain into a manicured country club. This is our home owner’s dues at work, and it makes me so mad.
LEAVE nature alone! It’s perfectly beautiful just as it is!
(Yes, they have even put in a putt putt golf thing and basketball, and don’t get me started on the pavilion re-do that went from a simple and functional covered pavilion in the open air for gatherings and BBQs into a completely walled in “club house” complete with dish network so they can watch the super bowl games. Your dues at work. GAH!)
Did the population of the mountain vote on any of this? No. All the decisions were made and executed by the board with no vote ever being taken. They never asked. They just did.
HOAs are just a nightmare, and when we finally retire the plan is to sell both places and build somewhere away from HOAs and all of the headbutting and headache they bring.
To calm myself down over the addition of stupid buck heads upon the gate posts (That now look like a gestapo check point) I headed to do some antique browsing.
