There are many communities in this town with rules like that. My statement is, "What if you do the work in your garage? If they can't see you doing it, they cannot complain about it!" I would never live in one of those commy-unities. My neighborhood is bad enough and there aren't any HOA's. I think my complaints come from the church-goers that frequent the area because I have 2 churches next to my house. The one next to me, I get to talk to them, and they like me. The Mormon church across the street I don't talk to them. They're the ones that usually have that look of being better than me, even when they park in front of my house to go to church. One day I came home for lunch and parked under my tree for shade. That left 3 wheels off concrete. I heard a guy talking to others across the street, he said, "It is illegal to park on your lawn, you need to park on concrete."
