OP, you should look into getting a clear plastic grill cover.

If you start a go fund me and promise updates, I’ll kick in $5 towards pissing off the HOA.
Get him one of these: https://www.amazon.com/Avery-Magnet-Sheets-Inches-03270/dp/B00006HN5Q/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1546883852&sr=8-2&keywords=avery+magnet+sheets%2C+8.5+x+11+inches%2C+white+03270
​
Have him slap it on over the company sticker, no proof its a commercial vehicle then. If they go take it off the truck I figure that's tampering of some sort. You could even print on or paint the magnet if the truck isn't white.
Side note- you should look into getting your dad a Python aquarium water changer. Hooks up to your faucet and can both empty and fill the tank for you. I got my dad one because he’s got a slipped disk in his back and couldn’t carry his buckets anymore.
Here are some. Pride gnomes with flags
WRT your dad not pursuing the HOA...

Hi, thanks so much for the valuable info.
So the declaration specifies what you're talking about and seems to refer to it as the "master plan". https://snipboard.io/uQnrE3.jpg
Almost suspiciously, the PDF of their declaration has exhibits A and C as attachments, but conspicuously lacks exhibit B, which is the master plan attachment.
I'm concerned about this language: "the Declarant hereby reserves the unilateral right to amend the Master Plan until the end of the Development Period at any time and from time to time in its sole discretion and without the joinder or consent of any other Owner, any Mortgagee or other person or entity." The addition of "and from time to time" almost makes it sound like it can arbitrarily change the definition of a lot whenever it pleases, even after the end of the development period. At any rate, I guess I'm going to have to bark up some trees to go find that attachment.
I'd download a hawk sounds app and play it through speakers whenever the rooster gets noisy. It might cause the rooster to shut up and go inside the chicken coup.
Looks like there are a lot of these apps. Here's a sample.
Are there restrictions on how big the pool must be?

- Buy a few of these.
- Park in your community parking lot, assuming it doesn't have surveillance cameras.
- Put on your COVID mask, a hat, and a hoodie.
- Put one of the locks in a duffel bag.
- Walk to your neighbor's house.
- Chock the wheel of the car(s).
- Walk back to your car.
- Drive home.
I'm petty enough to get a chartreuse car cover.
Something like this? Only $48.
Because the LED is flat and people want a bulb. The plastic shroud diffuses the light. The actual emitter is probably similar to this which a) is about an inch across b) needs other components around it to function correctly and c) gets pretty hot. Consequently, you need a big surface to put the assembly on, which means you need a big shroud if you want it to look like a bulb.
Boot the tires of whoever at the HOA is responsible for booting tires.

Yes, it will cost you money, but you'll find satisfaction from the money spent.
- Buy one of these
- Hide in the bushes
- See the tow truck driver
- Wait for him to get out of his car to check permits
- Boot his tow truck
- Run away
- Repeat the next time, since you bought two of them
I'm so sorry that your fur baby is going through this and then, as a result the HOA and your landlord are compounding the issue. Just truthfully that sucks!
Your statement that "This doesn't seem right or fair" is 100% correct. Unfortunately, right and fair don't apply to the law.
May I ask, when you compromised on your fur baby being outside only between 8:00 AM and 8:30 PM did your landlord or the HOA advise that was acceptable through a letter or email? That would be the only way I could see out of this from a legal point of view but I am not a lawyer.
That your landlord has said that it needs to stop means that they don't want to deal with the issue and want it to stop. That's sad too.
If you are willing to compromise there is the option of a dog potty pad and/or https://www.amazon.com/Artificial-Bathroom-Portable-PETMAKER-Essentials/dp/B00ICVHY5I . This is what one of my children uses for their fur babies when outside isn't an option.
Be prepared though, if it's a problem outside, it may still be a problem inside so to ensure there are no more problems, your landlord may just choose to not renew your lease so if your furbaby's lifespan is still long with their health problems, you might want to start looking when your lease gets close to the end.
Last but not least - Good Luck!
These noisemakers that can last years are just $11 on Amazon.
I'm not suggesting anything, but I would think it'd be quite annoying to hear, like, twelve of these things coming from somewhere under the sophet, deck, porch, window sills, air conditioners, kitchen exhaust vents, garage door, basement entrance, vehicle wheel wells... You know, fun places.
perhaps an anti-bark device installed on the fence :D here is one i found
Measure HOA member's sheds using a laser tool like this that measure things 65' away. I imagine you could do this easily from an alleyway if the fence isn't too high https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07C1LNZ21/ref=cm_sw_r_awdo_P0SM93KB26GPKNMPXY0G
Hide it with something like this.
It's not a plant because it is fake, it doesn't do anything so it has no activities and isn't dangerous, it doesn't emit anything so it can't be noxious, it looks like nature so can't be unsightly or unpleasant.
Before you do that, ask them to cite the specific rule being violated. If they can't cite it then it isn't being broken.

Put a label on it to call you for removal. Then go out and take it of while lecturing them about being an ass.
Find an affordable brightest super duper flashlight out there under $50, and carry it with you as you go down the hallway to your door. Hold it at about doorbell height, and shine it angled ever so slightly towards the neighbor's door...
Won't help leaving, but when you come home, it will be a most enlightening experience for your stalker neighbor.
Just say your night vision isn't too good, so you need the extra illumination. Safety, you know!
Store it in your car during the day.
You can try adding thicker padding under the area rugs, and see if that cuts the whining. I would suggest getting something like those 2ftx2ft interlocking foam tilesand using them under the area rug or maybe over most of the floor where the kids room is, or wherever she plays most. The woodgrain ones are neat looking.
Then if the other people keep being babies, you can show you've done everything a reasonable person would have, if they want t: a! o, they can pay to add soundproofing panels to their ceiling at their expense, since they are the ones with the perception issue.
>A background check…wtf?
We live in an area of high number of registered sex offenders, and also high crime area. We had a renter built a meth lab which blew up and took out 1 unit. We had 2 sets of renters who are former drug users who sold drugs out of the unit.
>The state I live you can not restrict solar including laundry lines.
In my state, this been going on for years. "Florida’s largest electric utility conspired against solar power, documents show" https://www.tampabay.com/news/florida-politics/2021/12/20/floridas-largest-electric-utility-conspired-against-solar-power-documents-show/?itm_source=parsely-api
Also, if there's a fire like that the one that had a meth lab in it, and firefighters try to run along narrow path with their equipment, they will be tripping over stuff.
>Your view of “trashy” my not be mine
We have dirty broken furniture in hallway, water bottles filled with cigarette butts on window sills, full ashtray in hallway, full size cigarrette collector in front of unit, (https://www.amazon.com/Smokers-Outpost-30-Gal-Cigarette-Receptacle/dp/B005V2UL7O) rugs hanging out of railing, 13 gallons trash bags left in hallways, and tossed in the bush along the walking paths.
>This is fucking America. People have rights.
As do unit owners who pay maintenance fee that is as much as a car payment for a nice sedan.
This is shared outdoor living space that all owners pay for if anything breaks, scraped, burnt, and trash.
They all now have to pay extra for someone to pick up the litter, of hundreds of cigarette butts that are tossed all over.
First, it's great that they're even ASKING homeowners' for their opinions.
Second, does your neighborhood use NextDoor.com or some other social network for general communication? If so, voice your concerns there and alert others. (I'd be sure and include some consideration for non-school nights, weekends, daylight savings time, etc. Having one set of hours to cover all situations just doesn't make sense.)
I used this for reference No-Till Winter Rye Seeds - 5 Lbs - Non-GMO Rye Grain Cover Crop Seeds by Mountain Valley Seed Company https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XSD6SX3/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_WYMEBPQWM5904AN4VQX3
Along with the other excellent suggestions, I recommend you wear one of these headlamps set to flashing red.
There was no HOA where I used to live, but we had the same issue and the city wouldn't allow curb cutting. Anway there was a local metal shop that made a heavy metal wedge that could be put down in front of your driveway to make a smooth transition. The ends were open to allow water to flow. I'm not sure if your HOA would allow this but its an option. Amazon also sells rubber blocks for this purpose.
Get an interior unit that vents through the window but doesn't protrude outside. Something like this: https://www.amazon.com/EdgeStar-AP12000S-Portable-Conditioner-Dehumidifier/dp/B0018DSBKE?source=ps-sl-shoppingads-lpcontext&psc=1
I have been shining my phone's flash light (very bright of course) on it, and it looks like the whole thing is reflective. In a photograph, the white circle of reflected light covers the black and white parts of the bar code. If anything, it appears to the naked eye that the bar code part (black in this example) is the non-reflective part, however based on the photograph I would say both are retro-reflective.
Of course logically I would agree that the way to go for a company who does this is to have the bar code "code" be retro-reflective, versus reflecting back everything that is "not" the barcode.
I'm thinking of getting something like this so that I only have to buy one roll to get two colors, and then I can test say red barcode reflective on copy paper as well as red barcode reflective on white reflective. My only concern is the pattern, but I don't think that matters?
