Bassaholic84 Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 Im lucky NO HOA for me. I park mine right next to my driveway. Put ratchet cover on and tarp over top in winter. I cant stand HOA how can someone tell you what you cant put on your own property. Quote

I cant stand HOA how can someone tell you what you cant put on your own property. There is a simple reason why they can tell you what you can and cannot keep in your driveway. The rules a clearly stated when a person buys into such a community. They understand this going in. If they don't like the rules, then they should look elsewhere for a home. Quote
Bassaholic84 Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 Yea I know thats why i would never buy a home in one. I want to beable to do what i want with my own property Quote

Super User retiredbosn Posted March 19, 2015 Author Super User Posted March 19, 2015 Coneflowers with Lucifer in the background. OK, this is how ignorant I am when it comes to flowers. I was looking in the background for a picture of a face or statue of pan. BTW looking in the background there is a white spot on a tree partially obscured by foliage that sorta makes a face! Then I googled Lucifer plants, the red flowers, what an idiot. Nature's garden. Wild lady slippers. Wow what a treat, haven't seen lady slippers since moving off the farm in WV. They're beautiful. With our little wild patch we new sort spring had finally arrived when they came out. Quote

Neighborhood covenants and HOA's are a necessary evil when developing a neighborhood outside city limits, or when there aren't any zoning laws. Depending on the area, developer, type of community etc dictate what covenants are put in place. The role of a HOA is enforcement of covenants, and upkeep of common property, roads etc. The homeowner fees go towards paying for road improvements, maintenance of common property, my neighborhood has a pool, the fees cover maintenance of it and insurance. In my case parking my boat is a city ordinance not a neighborhood thing. Boats, RVs etc have to be parked on sides or behind dwellings. Quote

Fortunately, the vast majority of us have choices as to where we want to live, and what restrictions we are willing to put up with to reside there. Our county and township have building codes and zoning restrictions that provide for residents to expect a safe and enjoyable area to live in. My only issue with the subject comes when people who move into the area and decide they want the rules changed to fit their own prejudices. Quote
Sun Fish Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 Boat currently sits outside, plan on putting in one of those 14 x 28 w/ a 10x7 door prebuilt garages by next winter in a home I'm in the process of purchasing. Currently it has a 12x24 attatched garage with a 9x7 door but w/ only a 105" opening and boat trailer being 102" tire to tire that may be quite difficult to get it in and out of there on a regular basis Quote
Super User Fishes in trees Posted March 22, 2015 Super User Posted March 22, 2015 I live kind out there in the country - black top road, not gravel road. I built a 30 x 40 Barn to keep my fishing toys in. I like being able to pull the truck and boat into the barn plug in the charger and go to the house. Over the years, I've gotten smarter about space management, so now I can fit a few more toys into it than I used to be able to. My utility trailer, lawn cart and 4-wheeler all fit in now and are relatively easy to get out if I need them. Long side walls are totally covered in shelves now and 90% of my stuff now is off the floor and on shelves. In decent weather, this is where I hang out, so sometime this year or next I'd like to upgrade the stereo system, get it to where it will rattle the metal a little bit. Just a mater of throwing money at it. Got to get some spare money - now that I think about it - probably not this year Quote
blongfishing Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 I personally store mine at my familys boat storage on Lake Hartwell. I think it is great to find something like that because where its stored it is locked up and gated. Its really cheap and easy. Find something like this and you will be set!! Quote

I found something like that on Clark's Hill, if I were closer to Hartwell, but its close to a two hour drive. Clark's Hill is an hour. I'm moving this summer and the new place will have storage for the boat. 1 Quote
Super User Redlinerobert Posted March 23, 2015 Super User Posted March 23, 2015 First off, beautiful landscaping Rhino. My old house kept the boat in the garage. The new place kept it in the horse stables until I sold it a couple years back. Quote
kjfishman Posted May 30, 2015 Posted May 30, 2015 Maybe adding a swing away tongue to the trailer will give you the room you need to get it in the garage. If my boat didn't have the swing away tongue it wouldn't fit. I have about 2" clearance with the tongue folded and the motor down. Quote
