It does not belong on a colonial house, but for some reason, my little house has rows of scalloped wood trim under the front eave. <br /><br />And, no, Stacy, I don't really think husbands aren't that bad. ;) But sometimes, it might not be so bad to have a benevolent dictator take care of everything because such a dictator would get everything done right, quickly, and with my best interests in mind (that's where the benevolence comes in).Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12429147325673256508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2248881149749925934.post-57318558954241957662009-05-18T08:34:00.000-07:002009-05-18T08:34:00.000-07:00wait, what is gingerbread?!

Come now ... surely you know...Benveloent dictator? Come now ... surely you know husbands aren't as bad as all that?<br /><br />Condo fees and condo associations suck on far larger scales than HOAs (in my experience). Condo fees may take care of the work, but they do it on their time and with who they see fit. So it may not be the best repair work and it may take FOREVER. And condos - at least in this part of their world - hold none of their value. They are like buying new cars, as soon as you sign on the dotted line it loses $20,000.<br /><br />HOAs are the real dictators who you have to beg permission to plant trees or paint fences or do anything thing really to the outside of your house that affects the over all value of the other houses around you.<br /><br />Which serves a purpose, mind you, because some people totally don't take care of their homes.<br /><br />Yeah for new paint though! Sorry about the maintenance costs!BellsforStacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02032366148476863438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2248881149749925934.post-48762933295476398022009-05-18T07:10:00.000-07:002009-05-18T07:10:00.000-07:00So my house used to belong to a witch.
